Kid Sues WoW Becuase He Thinks It Takes Too Long To Level

[quote]There's a guy named Erik Estavillo out there. He's your garden variety Internet tough guy, getting banned from PlayStation Network and hacking his Wii to play homebrew software. He's also made a habit of abusing the civil court system with ridiculous lawsuits. His latest target: World of Warcraft.
The complaint against Activision Blizzard accuses the company of "sneaky and deceitful practices" for making players level up before they can buy a mount. The slow pre-mounted movement supposedly extends subscription revenue by making it take longer to do things in the game. The lawsuit asks for $1 million and a court order to make Blizzard change WoW to be more to his liking.
Hilariously, Estavillo has subpoenaed Winona Ryder and Depeche Mode founder Martin Lee Gore to lend credence to his case. The plaintiff shares an interest in J.D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye with Ryder, and claims that she can speak to the feeling of alienation captured by the book and relate it somehow to World of Warcraft. Gore has "himself has been known to be sad, lonely, and alienated as can be seen in the songs he writes.”
Estavillo has previously filed suit against Sony over suppressing his First Amendment rights by banning him from PSN, Microsoft for the red ring of death, and Nintendo for a Wii update that broke his homebrew hack. None of the suits have resulted in a judgement in his favor to date.
Might we suggest Estivillo look into a middle school civics class to explain the purpose of the civil court system and the limitations of the Constitution instead of wasting everyone's time and money on silly court cases?[/quote]

Herp Derp, maybe if I sue WoW, I'll finally get my epic mount quicker! Also, the money from the case would help me pay off those attorney's fees I haven't paid yet! :downswords:
...
...........What an idiot.
WoW can go die in a fire for all I care
This guy again? When will it end.
Wow, geez it doesen't take that long to level...
That kid can't grind for shit then.
happy 5th birthday wow
He'll start complaining when he's level 80 and there's nothing to do.

This.
He'll sue WoW for "not providing enough content to make the game's subscription fee worth paying" or some type of bullshit with his obviously flawed logic :pseudo:
Not this bell end again, the courts should ban him for wasting time.
He should go sue Eve Online instead, it can take over a month or even 2 to get a skill to level 5.
OMG... the stupidity... it hurts...
That guy needs to grow up and drown in a toilet.

Yeah but you don't have to spend your lifeless life grinding.
10 bucks says a WoW Fag comes on here and agrees with him.
This is sad. They've made it easy enough as it is, you get a mount at 20 now instead of 40. Why the fuck is he whining? I remember the old days where it actually took a long god damn time.
If someone sues a person or company and loses then they should pay the other companies court costs. I think it would cut down on stupid lawsuits like these.
HAHA.
It took me 10 months to get to level 60.

The sad part is, it may reduce them, but it won't stop stupid shit like this from happening still.
what an idiot

friend leveling eh
Ban him from WoW.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;18565772]Ban him from WoW.[/QUOTE]
He would then sue WoW for an "Unlawful banning" and sue them for his money back, just making even more problems.
This guy makes me laugh. Kudos to him and his tragic misinformation of the legal system.
I took two years to get to level 36.
i never played wow never will
starcraft is still the best for me
He obviously isn't used to being a not-so-creepy guy who plays 24/7.
[QUOTE=NinjaWilko;18565677]That guy needs to grow up and drown in a toilet.[/QUOTE]
preferably drown before growing up.
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but is he seriously calling in Winona Ryder because they share an interest in the same book?
