..... how did u even come up with that? :S all i was thinking is that they do take action against ppl who use model editing for cheating and so on, but the model edits here does no harm whatsoever. Blizz doesnt give a damn about what we do as long as we keep it to ourselves and doesnt affect anyone else but ourselves. Don't think their intention is to make us pissed or anything. We just happen to use the same method as the cheaters do to get what we want out of the game.
This... is the definition of "naive".
What part of "X-rated" do you not get? the game has a Teen rating. It barely gets by on that (mainly because the ESRB can't really do anything to regulate online play with other people) but Blizz does have to keep things like sex, drug use, and such on the down-low to keep it.
If word got out that they condoned what we do to their game, in any way, they'd lose that rating, and with it a TON of subscriptions.
Age of Conan was supposed to originally have a Mature rating. Bloodshed, violence, drugs, booze, topless women, the whole nine yards. Funcom had to scale all of that back because they figured the game wouldn't sell if it had it. And that's one reason why the game did so poorly - all the people who WANTED all of that didn't get it, and all the people who didn't want to see blood and gore, did.
Blizzard isn't about to commit financial suicide by letting their best-selling game go "mature".
