Google maps - World of Warcraft mashup

Mapwow.com uses the Google maps API to provide an interactive map of Azeroth, the world in which MMO World of Warcraft is set. You can zoom in and out and drag to move locations just as with Google maps. Unfortunately/fortunately the site has received so much buzz and traffic that they had to turn off resource points for items like mineral ore, herb and treasure locations until they raise the cash for more hosting bandwidth -- if/when they do, this will be a fantastic resource for WoW players.

1. My friend was over the other day, and I showed him http://www.exploitsrus.com/wow.html It is a site with cheats, bugs, dupes, etc for world of warcraft. He told me it was against the rules for wow to do this. Is this true? I am used to cheating on video games for my whole life, so I was sort of shocked to hear this.

2. I just checked out mapwow.com, this is great. Thanks.

As for the previous comment, I am not sure if using this map tool would be considered cheating or not.

I have no moral problems using it, I don't think it would harm the game or other players. I mean every other player has the option to use this map tool so...

I sure there are a few people that might disagree with me. What does everybody else think.

3. IMO anything that Blizzard doesn't or can't block people from using shouldn't be considered cheating. That's simply because these tools are available to everyone. Even people who whine about other people's use of these tools may be using them.
