The Spirit of the Game

[Tasty]

This may sound a little dumb but what exactly is the spirit of the game?

The final argument an anti multiboxer has when logic and reason has defeated all other reasons why multiboxing should be banned! ;-)

I've never quite understood what it is myself. I guess it's the ToU we agree to after each patch if it was to be rationalised.

I liked that so much I just had to post on the "other" forums.

It's a catch-all term that allows Blizzard to justify whatever they want, because they are the only ones who can define what it means. Users try to tell Blizz what it means by saying boxing goes against it, but that's just silly because currently Blizz has stated that it is not against the spirit of the game.However, some Dev could decide boxing is against the spirit of the game tomorrow and there's nothing we could do about it. Blizz defines the term by what goes against it, without limitation, which allows its meaning to be ever-changing.

Essentially playing the game the way it was designed by and intended by Blizzard to be played.

Actions that are not cosidered exploiting, but are still outside the designed or intended method of play can be considered "not within the spirit of the game".

Cheers,

In the context of WOW forum whiners, it is a meaningless phrase for a subjective position, unprovable in fact and debatable in effect, perpetrated by a lacking crowd with questionable motives. In short, it is a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets its hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

After all the QQ I've seen on the forums lately. I put my 2 teams on Alexstraza on hold and started a Herd of shaman on Ravenholdt. Ima get me my very own QQ forum post.
