Blizzard Awarded $6M Damages From MMOGlider
dw604 writes "The makers of MMOGlider have been found in breach of the World of Warcraft terms of service and are forced to pay Blizzard $6M in damages." There's a lot of sticky issues on this one. Mostly I'm amazed that MMOGlider had that kind of cash.
Maybe they just used their own application to farm some more gold. Just a thought.

Their pissing on everyone's right and the concept of computer ownership to punish one douchebag means they'll be selling one less copy of D3.
World of Warcraft - A game so fun that people pay for programs to play it for them.
You're telling me! I can't wait for World of World of Warcraft to come out! I'm going to roll a 90 lb famished Chinese man working for pennies an hour!
My work here is dung.
US$6 million? How much is that in gold?
The premise of a "discussion board" is apparently hard for you to grasp.

Perhaps you're a sociocyberpath. You see, normal people empathize with their computer, and feel bad at what all they put the poor machine through. So they give it the enjoyment of mindless repetitive tasks in a virtual environment with others of its kind, all without some stupid and demanding user sitting there at the keyboard. It's "computer time." How sad that you can't imagine this simple kindness.

Who asked you? Seriously?
Who asked you to ask who asked him?
Wait, who asked me to ask you to ask who asked you to ask him? And if no one asked us to ask, then why do we ask at all?!
It's all been for naught. Our keyboards... useless, now.
[If] i had a real robot ( no i dont mean biped humanoid ) that would be able to play for me using a mouse, screen and a keyboard ..

Hold up there Jim... this is Slashdot and you're not only admitting you expressed yourself poorly, you're apologizing. This can't happen on Slashdot, please make sure you go back and flame this guy's perfectly sensible and reasoned (also accurate) response and if you can, put a personal attack in.
It starts here, and before you know it civil conversation will erupt, then it's all over! :)
I love our guild hunters, they're all quite skilled and manage to top meters without getting themselves killed. But I've seen the other side of the fence in PUG runs... bad hunters who are level 70 who don't know how to ice trap. It's all relative to experience I guess.
Success is as dangerous as failure, hope as hollow as fear.
