Come on, laws do not apply to large companies. I thought it was not a news anymore.

That's like saying Cartoon network is Warner Bros. Animation because both channels are owned by Time Warner

Yes yes we get this rhetoric from core gamers before.

Even though most old school RPGs have best token storylines. I mean Pool of Radiance was not anything profound.

And WOW is known for having great lore when uts at its best.

Nice!

Yes, the Warcraft lore is great, but the game itself can't keep me hooked because I hate grinding.

Then you will hate Ultima 4 and its ball busting grind of getting Avatar virtues ;)

Can't say I blame Blizzard for this, even more so because we're talking about a bot for Heroes of the Storm here, a game that's inherently multiplayer with small groups.

They bought the code off someone who had the code, and although the "company" that made stormbuddy seems to enjoy using the words intellectual property I'd be surprised if they had any real rights to sell a software that so clearly derives it's value off Blizzards game, not to mention it negatively impacts that game's other players.

Now instead Blizzard having to waiting for courts to catch up to that fact and prove whether that's true or not before anything that can be done about it, the Stormbuddy company can try and prove they have a legal standing before they can continue abusing Blizzards game.

I guess it doesn't help that I don't have any sympathy for them because of what they do :)

Grade A gold

Never played that one :). Is it free because of this?:P

In order to max out the compassion virtue.

I had to give a begger 1000 Gold.

But wait there is more, you don't give him 1000 gold at once no because doing that will give you only 1 compassion virtue point.

To max it out you have to type "Give" then type "1" and then press ENTER exactly 1000 times to max out the virute.

Here is the list:

It's worth remembering that you don't have to do this in the game. You don't need to give any money to any beggars ever. This trick of giving to a beggar 1000 times is just an exploit - a very boring one.

So what do I have to do to max it out easily?

From my experience, nothing. Just play the game without trying to grind virtues at all. Keep in mind what virtues you want to prioritise as you go around learning mantras, finding runes and stones, get spells, etc. - there's a lot to do in the game and every action you take affects your virtues in some way, so if you just approach approach every problem with the mindset of whatever partial avatarhood you're aiming for then soon enough you start maxing out virtues while barely even trying.

Since this damned tablet won't let me reply to posts...

@Monkey- For Ultima 4, how exactly do you save in dungeon? I got all the way to the final dungeon, didn't realize that I could save, and kind of gave up. My goal had been to slog through every single Ultima, but that damned dungeon crashed me down.

Welcome to the real world where 99.9% of people do that. Yes? No? Maybe so?
I mean, if Blizzard annoys you, I shudder to think what you're feeling about corrupt corporations that instead ruin the lives of millions of people and maybe even practice slavery in third world countries.
