Well, almost...

"On May 30, 2007, a 28-year-old gamer named Antonio Hernandez filed a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit against IGE in a US district court in Florida. Hernandez was a World of Warcraft diehard, averaging by his own description 35 to 40 hours a week of play, and it was on behalf of almost every other WoW player in the US that he was suing IGE for "substantially impairing" and "diminishing" their collective enjoyment of the game."

Gold Farmers and the likes shouldn't be tolerated anyways. At least someone started doing something about it.

Oh how I used to enjoy griefing the gold farming operations in DataMine. (not to be confused with regular players farming in DM)

Last I saw they'd given up because no players were buying the info from them and players kitted out solely for battle had harassed them out of the DM.

Matrix players don't need lawyers when we have Datamine allowing us to either kill them or make their efforts pointless!
