April Fool's is upon us

Yes, it's only midnight, and already the wackiness has started. These people just couldn't wait to do something a little silly on the first day of April.
More to come for sure. Don't believe anything you read today (unless you read it here on WoW Insider, of course).

Nihilum claims to have quit WoW, saying Blizzard has forsaken them and hardcore raiding.

I assume by that you mean, wowinsider made some people like you feel stupid?

No, Wyrd, I'm referring to an information-based business making the stupid choice to devalue the trust they've built up.
Imagine if Blizz altered WoW so that it either mimicked a BSOD or kept bringing up a "YOUR FILES ARE CORRUPTED; REPAIR WOW.EXE."
Then yelled "APRIL FOOL."
There are some things that are simply not suited to being an April fool's joke; anything that strikes at the heart of your business is among them. It's simply a *stupid* business decision.

No but this US based Blog site does.
Also: Pointing this out in EVERY SINGLE time-sensitive article is stupid and childish. We get it, you live in a different timezone, that's fantastic for you.
