>>714929446then i think we disagree what piracy is
IMO playing on a private server is piracy if you download the client and haven't paid for a copy of the game
if you've paid for a copy of the game blizzard isn't entitled to a monthly payment from me to keep it from pirating, and simply because they don't want it to be played outside of their servers doesn't mean i'm pirating because i set up my own
this would apply to any online game i could set up to play alone, but especially those that don't require a monthly fee in the first place, e.g. a private gw2 server.
