Simple.

Ok, now you also have to wrap all poll_ scripts because they will pickup the sales that did not correctly register with process_ or which somehow got the reseller dropped.
Of course wrapping that tends to get more and more complicated since those scripts pull data from another URL and uses it directly. So you would really have to rewrite those scripts instead.
This does nolonger take 5 minutes, do you agree? Now you have to do all kinds of things to modify and wrap and whatnot scripts in NATS. The effort is growing and growing and growing. And you never know, maybe we have more scripts that do checks of the posted data compared to the data we pull from the billers.. Hmm.... you wanna risk being cought shaving and lose your face? Or might you want to prefer to maybe just not shave and put all this effort in another place and actually try to make a good affiliate program?
At some point, Dragon, the effort gets too big to actually make it interesting to try to circumvent every little thing in NATS. Why not just write your own app instead? Sounds way easier to me than to risk us finding you shave and losing your integrity in this biz forever.
Thanks for proving my points ;)
