Interesting.

Although, they’re being incredibly self righteous about it. I suppose they are about anything they do.

I’m not sure I support lawsuits for this kind of thing, although these guys were going pretty far. They had a pretty sophisticated spamming operation set up on (as far as I know) every server. When I went back and tried WoW out for the 10 day trial earlier this month, there was constant /whisper spam. To the point where I set up a macro to spam them back just incase they had actual people doing that (which I sincerely doubt, but it’d be worth the 5 minutes to set the macro up).

What’s even funnier is that I always bought gold in WoW. I got real sly with the auction house and made MOST of my money that way, but if I really needed gold for something and just didn’t have it, it wasn’t out of the realms of possibility that I’d snap some up. Mostly early in my WoW career when I didn’t have much gold. At one point anything of worth becomes BoP anyway.

Although I always found it funny to listen to guildmates talk about “farming for x days” for their gold, etc. I just couldn’t imagine it. I’ll fully admit that I became a sad, sad raid monkey at one point (it almost cost me a relationship…) - but endlessly grinding at Tir’s Hand for gold? Man… can’t be done, sorry.

If I cared about the game, sure. If the game was more than a PvE (or sad, sad, PvP) progression fest - k, fine. I’d have to really be into the game, and it’d HAVE to be a sandbox game. Just not going to grind so I can rade bettar. I was known to GM a miner out on OSI in ‘98, and even get a smith to like 98.9 or something back when it took MONTHS to accomplish that.

But WoW just isn’t the type of game that I’m going to invest time in like that. Maybe no game is these days, just yet anyway.
