Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-hates-them-the-emulation dept.

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.

    I suppose it's a bad sign when BadAnalogyGuy beats me to exactly the analogy I was going to make...

    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.

    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.
