Of course you're not trying to make a buck out of WoW, unless you're a Gold Farmer or some-such.

What do they complain about over on the other side of the fence? Unduly long times to download the patch, crashes, lag, sudden disconnection, things behaving erratically, or not working at all for days, and 12 hours of downtime to do the update.

It's like a whole different world, isn't it? You know, over there where a company is behaving like a real business with 7.5 million paying customers. They even gave 50 cents worth of credit to compensate for the days of problems.
