If you have no idea what WoW Glider is, don't worry, we'll give you a quick go-over. WoW Glider is a 3rd party application that automates all the major aspects of WoW gameplay. You set parameters and the thing starts farming, looting, gaining experience/reputation for you. Whatever you'd want it to do.

Using WoW Glider by the way is against Blizzard's terms of service. You know, those things you click on before you get to play after every patch.

Usually, in cases like these, we see the creators of the game suing third party developers for creating avenues to violate the terms of service of the game. This time though, it's the other way around. Get this: the makers of WoW Glider complaint says that Blizzard trying to kill their distribution.

WoW Glider's complaint suggests that Blizzard has been attempting to strong-arm them into stopping distribution based on alleged copyright and DMCA violation. Funny thing is that it seems that WoW Glider's makers are jumping in with the first lawsuit.

If you're curious about the full complaint feel free to click our "read" link below.
