I watched the thread on the WoW forums where it was analysed, turned into a problem, and then said it was going to be changed. Someone complained a lot, all through, then they locked the thread.

Three weeks ago.

I have a feeling that Blizzard don't like it, have told everyone they don't like it and are working on the problem, but are going to leave it like that, at least in the short term.

My reasoning is that it's a change to something they did fully state was accepted, and that just annoyed people who bought new copies specifically because it was stated as accepted. So if they let that cycle of people go through, then kill it, no one ends up getting hurt. The complainers that it works see it's on the "we'll look into it list", the people who want it keep using it and don't make a fuss. Win/win.

Note that a high level on the linked account has never worked. The RAF is friend-level based.

** You watch, now that I've said all that they'll kill it tonight. :S
