    Mr. Kopp, I applaud you. You face the heat of Blizzard (a bit on the greedy side these days) and then you come to face the heat of ignorant post after ignorant post in response to this story. The production of an unofficial game guide is done by the hundreds (for pretty much every game out there) and NOW a company like Blizzard of all companies starts pointing the finger at an unauthorized guide to a game that is so remarkably large and dense that it charges you monthly to play and defies any sort of end-all-be-all game guide. It probably took 3 times as many man hours to produce Mr. Kopp's guide as it did to produce something like Final Fantasy VII's guide...if not more. If Mr. Kopp sells one guide for $15 and it enables or excites the purchaser enough to play for one more month, Blizzard made as much as he did--if not more from any additional months. They should pay the man for his intellectual rights to the guide and just sell the damn things themselves if they are so concerned about it. Perhaps if Blizzard saw it as a possible exploitation of some quirk of the economy; some fallible pillar of their design--they should have fixed the problem in-game and rendered the guide useless. Instead, I think Blizzard just didn't like the taste of someone else making money from WOW that they didn't get to touch directly.

    ALTHOUGH, Mr. Kopp did pay them monthly just to access his resources. They put a stain on their record and seem horribly malicious in their (over?)protection of their precious money-maker. They should pay him just for saying the words "World of Warcraft" on the front of the damn book for the pure advertisement. It's a solid game, and Blizzard is a solid game company but I'm seeing a new side of them altogether.
    Greed TRULY has reared its ugly head. I pay monthly and frankly think things like T-shirts and possibly even similar guides to Mr. Kopp's should be given periodically to subscribers just because, as a whole, we give them a friggin' s**t ton of money.

    Guides are meant to cut corners and if you don't agree with it, don't buy it or read it---it isn't cheating unless its giving one an UNFAIR advantage. The funny thing is, we ALL have access to these guides. So being unfair is a matter of perception. Someone BUYING gold for actual currency is a bit different and teetering on the edge of straight cheating but so is someone who has a buddy with a high level character that just e-mails them a ton of gold to make that person more excited to play. In the end BLIZZARD is seeing the pay off on the bottom line and I would be more impressed if they just rode the wave in, made their money quietly and not be such nickel-pinching dirt bags.

    As for gold farming or any other sort of 'cheating,' I don't condone gold farming, and in a lot of ways I find it frustrating because as much as some take part and others don't--ALL realize it's there and those that don't take part sometimes ask ridiculous prices because others do take part in the purchasing of farmed gold and will pay those outrageous prices. I think a cap would be a wonderful idea! Although that would be a bit contrary to an auction system and would probably end in what would just be an extended vendor system full of capped prices and little room for actual bidding.

    Blizzard -- being mysterious and quiet is far more intriguing than a child who doesn't share his/her toys. Loosen up and be more thankful for all of the NEW and OLD fans that World of Warcraft has intrigued and just concentrate on the game and making it better. That's what you do, let us rabble deal with what guides we want to buy or don't want to buy. The next time I hear from you, Blizzard, it better be about a new game or expansion pack dammit. Do you want timeout? DO YOU WANT TIMEOUT?
