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.

The way Blizzard replies to the guy's emails, if I had been him, I would have emailed them a large high rez uncompressed photo of my middle finger with the caption "this is the finger I used to press my final macro key in WoW".
Good analogy. Business has lots of grinding, low level mobs, and elitist guilds.

Ugh. I just had visions of the IT department getting a raid party together and heading down to payroll.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one the bus load of girls just went down.
Yeah, cool, but it got him banned. He should have used one of those little, swinging, water-drinking, wooden birds with the funny hats, they're harder to detect.

That's it. Blizzard has yet to start rounding up and gassing Slashdot editors.
