Ok. I do admit that there is a slew of good reasons as to why private servers are evil, illegal, and should be destroyed. I do admit that, and that this post isn't going to change anything supporting-private-servers-wise.
But I presume that the people who state that are those who don't have a complete perspective, and are somewhat biased. Whether it is some sort of pride or connection to the game and anything that may offend it or defile it (XD) should be destroyed.
My first reason is the fee. It is/should be reasonable for those who are not financially stressed. This mixed up economy and its problems make it impossible for a large number of people to play WoW, or buy any other game for that matter (I've witnessed poverty first-hand). And such things as private servers make it possible to play WoW. In the anti-PS defense, if one is so poor, they should spend their time getting themselves _un-poor- right? One would not have time for video games. That may be true, but a person isn't working 24 hours of the day. And human nature includes recreation and entertainment. Video gaming appeals to lots of people.
Second reason: WoW is a gargantuan 8.12 Gigabytes of uber-goodness. My time on retail gave me the idea that a lot of that data is unappreciated by many people. Not all, but a definate amount. I bet that Blizz doesn't care whether they enjoy everything or not they just want their 15$ a month. Oookay, but, all the people I know who are even remotely rpg-oriented have confessed a desire for a virtual world to explore. And whether its a All-GM/Sandbox/Instant 70 server, it provides the possibility to indulge that desire. XD.
Third Reason: Half of all the PS out there are Blizz-mimicks, with identical rates of leveling and such. To the normal non-Moderator/GM player a standard MaNGOS Blizz rate server is same in all ways except the 15$ dollahs.
So, w/e. Hope this gave you a worthwhile perspective.
