Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard

An anonymous reader writes "Player gets banned for playing World of Warcraft under WINE and using a Logitech Gaming keyboard. "I am an experienced network engineer for an ISP and I am often running World of Warcraft on Linux through the use of WINE..."" Although the e-mails exchanged are unclear my guess is that the programmable keyboard was more the problem then WINE. Not that you'd ever know that given that Blizzard communicates with their users seemingly almost exclusively with form letters.

What is it with Taco and WoW?

Oh, STFU, Taco! What is it with you and World of Warcraft? Last time, you got all pissed that you had to change your name to follow the rules of no titles, which caused you to post a seven paragraph essay whining about how you, as CmdrTaco of Slashdot, should have been allowed to bend the rules everyone else has to follow. It's obvious you're STILL pissed over this and making flippant remarks about form letters, which is hypocritical considering Slashdot's piss-poor email feedback that often involves a sarcastic one-line dismissal of the user's problem.

I think I see now why Slashdot is languishing. We always wonder what the editors do all day, and now we know CmdrTaco just plays World of Warcraft while his site generates ad revenue. Then he takes a break from the game to check the submission queue without even bothering to follow the front page (he probably doesn't even subscribe to the RSS feed), and once he's posted a few, goes back to his game while the site falls even further behind.

Please...shut up about World of Warcraft, 'k, Taco? In the first case you bitched, it was over you breaking the rules of no titles in names. In this case of your bitching, you're criticizing over automated keyboard macros that performed behaviors unattended, which is clearly against the rules. If you don't like Blizzard or their rules, don't play their fucking game.
