Yeah if so, why isn't this information readily made available without the use of sanae-chan or KCV. Which is the main question of doubt.
When you start tunneling traffic into another server that isn't Kadokawa's....it is pretty much considered harmful and a security risk. And remember api link was what that is needed to play with commie's patch. And then suddenly api shitstorm. Coincidence much? Don't think so.
As much as commie's wants to deflect this recent crisis to other reasons, I believe they are the main reasons that triggered a massive flag on Kadokawa side.
Lets hope so. This shitstorm is still far from over.
You may be right, but playing with API has been in practice for a while already, even before the patch...so I can't directly relate the current API issue with commie releasing the patch. It may be what trigger DMM and KDKW, but it may also be the case of bad timing. Bottom line is, I don't want to start blaming without any hard evidence against them. The main reason given for the tighter security is "to reduce cheating".
Back to KCV and sanaechan, even if these programs help display more data/info from the stock player, we are still bounded by the game rules e.g. we can see what ship we are building but we still cannot choose the ship we want or we know the fatigues level of individual ships but we cannot remove the fatigue without using the provided means (mamiya food supply).
If I were the dev, these things are very low in my priority because they don't impact the game the way cheaters do. It might not be considered as an issue even, because the harmless nature of the program. I have other more issues to handle, like those actual cheaters, increasing server capacity, new contents, and maintenance.
I even feel that the devs know that we foreigners are playing the game, but they may have decided to turn a blind eye over us. Why? For the company, any new player is a source of income, regardless of the origin. Plus, they also know that these foreigners are not just leechers i.e. they do purchase stuffs of the in-game store, which create revenue. My theory is that if they limit the pool to only Japanese, sooner or later they will have no more new entries, but on the other hand, they don't want to open the floodgate and freely let everyone around the world join them when they have enough issues at hand trying to handle the server load. So they play silence for now. Another plus side also, the more exposure the game gets, the more people will buy the merchandise when they come out later. So in actual, it's a win-win situation for them.

Just had my 50 loveca draw today...no UR but at least netted myself 3 SRs....anyway we're getting a bit OOT. 
but I can understand the benefit of logbook..but I believe there's one developed to complement KCV?
