Blue post pwns the noob's "it's automation" thread

[Maxion]

Lol, its not illegal, it's just some uninformed person making assumptions/accusations. Don't worry.

Yeah I just read the entire forum, I saw the Blizzard post and kinda freaked out for a sec ^^

Keyclone IS a third party program. The defition of a third party program is anything that loads outside of WoW, and interacts with it. While it is not against the TOS/EULA, it IS a third party program. People simply think of "third party program" and "against the TOS/EULA" as being synonymous, when they are not.

Palehoof, one of the MVP's or whatever they are, even falls into the trap of saying that the 3rd party software is illegal, without even knowing what keyclone actually does. Hooray for not researching.

I have to admit, before I joined this community, I was under the general impression that ANY program that is loaded outside of WoW (third party) that somehow interacted with it, was illegal. After reading a lot about the TOS, its not that Third Party Programs in general are illegal its just ones that automate gameplay. A lot of players don't make that distinction and consequently ride the "follow the masses" train.

Yea I've actually seen a number of ppl claim that add-ons are against the ToS and are cheating since they are technically 3rd party :huh:
