alisdee rated 3 months ago- MMO Bot-maker sued by Blizzard for copyright infringement? Oh please, Blizzard, seriously...

- Bots are cheats, I don't blame WoW for trying to get this ditched. It's one thing to offer cheat tips, it's another to take up server bandwidth that doesn't belong to you.

- They just want the person to play instead of bots because it will take the person longer to do what they want to do, which means they can sell more $15 a month cards.

- OH NOS! Having bots in the game might ruin their perfectly balanced...... fuck that, I cannot even joke like that.... Fuck you Blizzard and your World of Rougecraft.

- From the page: "The makers of World of Warcraft are locked in a legal battle with a firm that has produced a tool to automate many actions in the virtual world. Blizzard is suing Michael Donnelly, the creator of the MMO Glider program, which performs key tasks in the game automatically, such as fighting." Gold farming...is that what this is about. A business model for creating virtual gold that can be sold to real players using real money? If so, that's sad to be sure. However, there are enough problems with virtual worlds and the gaming companies' anti-cheating malware as it is, isn't there?

- So Blizzard doesn't deserve the right to make more money because they are 'rich enough?'

- What a joke, of course its a cheat, and it explains that it is against the rules right in their own FAQ on their website. Here's a cut/paste of 2 good parts. **** Q: Is using Glider cause for suspension/ban? A: Yes, Glider is against the Terms of Service as provided by Blizzard for World of Warcraft. If you are detected using Glider, your account will be suspended for 72 hours and very likely banned completely. While Glider does not violate any of the terms listed under Blizzard's "Client/Server Manipulation Policy", it is still a third-party program and their Terms of Service are very open in what falls under that definition, meaning they can find you in violation for pretty much anything they want. Glider provides a number of features to help lower the risk of detection - for more information, see the next topic. Bottom line: use at your own risk. **** Q: Is Glider detectable? A: There are two methods of detection for Glider or any other third-party tool: 1) The game itself detects the software by searching memory, your hard drive, window titles, or some other means. The current version of Glider (1.5.5 January 4, 2008) is not known to be detected by these methods. However, it is technically possible for Blizzard to change their detection scheme, if they come up with a new way to detect Glider. This risk cannot be avoided, as the game client can update any time. You can help lower your risk by following the suggested settings as posted in the Announcements forum. 2) You can also be detected by a human observing you and noting repeated patrols, robotic behavior, etc. This can largely be avoided by always staying near your computer while gliding. Glider also has a number of features built-in, such as detection of whispers or other players following you. Be careful to avoid areas with lots of obstructions and follow the tips in the help file when setting up profiles. Unattended automated play is always risky and should not be done in busy areas for a long time.
