Oh, they've also been hacked numerous times without revealing it. I have a
special + address for wowhead, and it has never been posted anywhere or
used for anything but logging in to wowhead. Yet it gets torrents of
spam.

Their collector app is windows only, so I don't have the choice of
running it. However, based on their pathetic security, I would not run
it anyway, since I do not trust them not to infect my machine with
shitware.

I am *deeply* disappointed in Blizzard foisting off support duties and
repercussions for writing terrible quest text to wowhead. I find their
directing people to wowhead to be completely irresponsible.
