I’d love to write one. I need to take a look at my NDA again just to make sure I don’t infringe on anything.

I can say one thing: the problems were heavily exacerbated by a few botters trying to scrape the entire planets worth of data every minute so they could charge money for realtime maps of everything. Every time we’d shut them out, they would find another way around the limits. Not fun when we were already so overloaded with real users.
