My ub expires again in a couple of weeks and I will not be renewing any
time soon. Tokens have gotten quite expensive, and I'm going to wait and
play Legion for a month or two and then I will likely be done with WoW
for good.

At this point, the only way that I would consider playing it into the
future is if I were able to isolate it completely from the rest of my
system (that is, in a sandbox were none of Blizzard's shit could touch
the rest of my system).

Recently, Blizzard has been leaving background processes running when
neither Battle.net nor any blizzard game is running, they keep
installing "new" versions of the launcher all the time forcing me to
punch holes through the firewalls over and over for the "new" apps, and
they are "chatting" way too much with their home base.

Not to mention that often teh "new" launcher apps are binary clones of
the "old" app (that is, bbyt-forbyte identical just in new folders with
new names).

I am not normally paranoid, but I don't trust Blizzard/Activision and
they are the reason that I run Little Snitch on my Mac.
