But every time someone makes a server and allows other users to connect, they're emulating the game and making it available. Whether it's a WotLK, Cata, or MoP server, it is always distributing Blizzard content to the user, free of charge. It is in every case a violation of the Terms of Service and it is copyright infringement.
Forgive me if I sound like I'm arguing, I'm only trying to understand why using MoP/Cata is being frowned upon.
Are you basically suggesting that it's not okay to import items from other expansions? Like if I were running a Burning Crusade server, it would be (more) illegal to import WotLK items? Because that's the same thing. Although I continue to be confused as to why it's any different from emulating the game in the first place.
I won't post anything MoP/Cata related if you're not comfortable with it.
I'm only a selfish, elitist prick.
