what the story neglects to mention is he was playing under linux - which may have influenced their decision

Ive got no clue bout Linux, Could he have used this to his advantage with the keyboard aswell? or is it just Blizz being picky?

How come Logitech advertise the G15 as an IDEAL solution for WoW and even the supplied software profiler detects WoW and says " World Of Warcraft: Profile Activated " once the game is loaded if it is not suitable for the game?

Er what about it is not suitable for the game?

It's perfectly suitable (and very good by the looks of things).

Just because some idiot decides to exploit a game using a keyboard does not make that keyboard at fault. I could type libellous comments about someone and get sued, but it wouldn't be the keyboards fault.

"seems" boring? well, each to their own. If you have not played that I would advise that you dont judge the game though.

I dont see why paying per month for a game that hosts god knows how many servers, updates interface/game play all the time and pays hundreds of people just to help out the players of the game either in game or outside.

grr one tracked minds ftl!

When i said "sucks tbh"... that was referring to Blizzards action, not the game

As for the rest.. I understand that it takes a lot of work to keep up all the servers etc....

I guess its just cos its not my type of game (i do like RPGs though, the amount of time i spent playing Diablo over IPX and Diablo 2 online is huge), and what with work and a girlfriend, i wouldnt have enough time to play it.

I guess Im jealous of people who can afford to sit there playing a game for days on end.

the warden doesn't get accurate data when being run on linux - then again, as the guy says on his page, there are no wow exploits which actually run on linux

I can see what he means TBH. WoW suffers from the same problems any online multiplayer game suffers from (not just MM ones)
faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much walking, not enough action. When some arse is baseraping in BF2 its like that aswell - except you keep waiting for your spawn time rather than walking.

But unlike BF2, in WoW you feel you have actually acomplished something... you get that shiny new weapon, you kill that boss youve been trying for for weeks... it just makes thoes long walks/flights more worth while..

the logitech programable software is definatly 3rd party as far as WOW is concerned, how can he claim otherwise?

If you do well in any sort of game or situation you feel like you've acomplished something.
I feel like I've acomplished something if I get gold medals in BF2.
I'll feel particularily happy when I get my basic knife combat
