Blizzard Adds Timestamps To WoW Armory

Kharny writes "In a move that could cause serious privacy problems for players of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has added timestamps and an RSS feed to the game's online armory site. This new feature will mean that anyone can follow 'real-time' developments in a World of Warcraft character, which display the exact time and date, so that others can see that person's playing habits. Many players have already complained about the fact that there is no opt-out setting, and this opens very big possibilities for online stalking."

    What's the diff between a Bot and an NPC (GW Hero's/Henchies)?

    The NPC is Sanctioned while the Bot is not, yet both are bots.

    Spanking a kid for running into the road -- a mistake -- is going a bit overboard, and overuse of corporal punishment is pretty much the definition of abuse, but whatever..

    More importantly, we need to put an end to the idea that it's ever okay to have a drink with dinner. FFS, having *a* drink with dinner is like going to a strip club with pasties. Just because there's no "Two Drink Minimum" sign in your dining room doesn't make it okay to be a pussy. So remember, if you're ever in a situation where you're trying to decide whether or not to have *a* drink, the answer is already no. Drink, or drink not. There is no try.

    And, oh yeah.. Don't be a PedoBear.
