Q u o t e:
Blizzards stance is to make money..... No matter who they squash in that goal.


That's interesting, Monson, I would think if that was true we would allow things like PvE to PvP transfers, botting, powerleveling, the sale of gold, heck if all we cared about was the money we would likely offer the services ourselves and cut out the middle man.

We don't because although this is a business and like any business our goal is to make a profit, we believe that certain activities sully the value of the game, accomplishments shouldn't be trivialized because one player may be able to spend more money than another. Each player is given the same opportunities to enjoy the game as it was intended.

Although a questionable practice, Purhearted, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with naming your pet the same as your character or even your teammate. We continue to monitor the issue and as always our stance regarding this practice may change. If you believe such practices should be prohibited or wish to share your views regarding the subject please post on our Suggestion Forums.
