Glider Lawsuit Discussion Thread

I don't see how they won this case - people still have to pay that 15$ a month even if they are botting. Greedy eh?

the premise of the case is it causes non botters to get ticked off and quit playing, and thus hurting business...

Of course, the botter QQers are the same people who flood blizz's forums daily begging for nerfs to everything and everyone thats not them, buffs for themselves, free epics, lower costs for everything in game, etc.

who are you to make such a sweeping accusation like that?

I be the one who is going to ask a stupid question.
Why did glider get sued? I know all the tos in wow but...
Wut about other programs that are the same to glider?

[ToxicSheeplol]

i think it is because of Copyright actually but they were also the biggest and most known bot around back then ( i think ).

MDY Agrees to Pay Blizzard $6 Million in Damages

Man it sucks to be MDY .. and they most likely didn't even make anywhere near this amount from selling this thing

Gotta suck even more to be a "tool"?

Lol ppl are so stupid tbh, glider wont win they have no chance, it clearly states in the blizzard rules that there should be no 3rd party software and glider is 3rd party software. Obv it more complicated than that but there is no way in 1000000 years that glider will win blizzard and if they did blizzard would be basically allowing the use of bots in their game and if that did happen wow would die (90% of all players hate botters), i bot and use it farm my gold and level up alts but it would be a nightmare if blizzard allowed people to use bots. People need to start to understand that glider is dead and isnt coming back and tbh mercury also needs to reliease that. I admire mercury for standing up to blizzard and trying to get his bot back up and running but i know aswell as everyone else that glider is dead.

Wow, how ignorant can you be? Probably should read what the lawsuit is about. It isn't about "can you use glider" (obviously not, Blizzard has every right to ban your account), rather it is about "does using glider equate to copyright infringement, punishable by large fines and jail time" (which it most certainly doesn't).

You dont seem to be understanding what i meant, all im saying is the chances of glider coming back is very low, so people should forget about it and move on, My post may be abit misleading but tbh i cant even remember writing it lol.

It's not a matter of whether or not Glider was good. (Which it was)

This case will determine whether companies can go out of business because their competition adds some silly language in their EULAs. It's been stated before, think about if MS were to add some new clause to the Windows EULA that forbid you from running Firefox. If Blizzard wins this case; they'd be legally able to do so, and would possibly be able to sue not only you, but Mozilla.

This case hasn't been about a bot for a long time.

I understand the precedence this case will set, I was just commenting on people's remarks about glider returning at some point.
