The developers attracted the attention of Blizzard's legal department.
Recently, a specific project for World of Warcraft came under fire. Modders were developing an application to automate gameplay (making bots).
The developers attracted the attention of Activision Blizzard's lawyers, who demanded that they stop working – the modders listened and shut down the project:
After being contacted by legal representatives of Blizzard Entertainment and Activision, we decided to discontinue the development, support, and sale of Baneto. The Baneto service will no longer function. In connection with this, all our tools and related services will cease to function immediately. This is the final official statement on this matter. There will be no further comments or news.
