If you made a billion dollars a year, literally, with a game with subscription fees, why would you

What makes you think private servers are illegal? They can be illegal to make a Public server, but its not illegal to play on one. That being said, its still morally wrong to take money out of Blizzards pockets.

it's illegal to play one, changing the software to target the private server instead of the official one is illegal, and against the TOS.

I ponder to know how the general population would react knowing if someone decided to ship a crate full of C4's to Blizzard HQ where they keep their servers running? Given the fact that they made the game highly addictive through testing and during it, they tested the dopamine level.

just bite your tounge and pay for it, if your 'not allowed' by your parents or whatever just open your own bank account and attatch the fee to that, or buy a pre paid game card from a shop or something

Stupiest misconception ever. Private servers are not illegal at all if they are non-profit. (as in, they dont charge you to play on them). Private servers keep afloat through donations and other gimmicks.

this is true. thats why blizzard hasnt gone after the private servers yet. and although it pains me to pay 15 bucks a month to play wow its worth the lag free,scripted instances and practically no bugs.

From the WoW ToU Agreement that EVERYBODY has to agree to in order to play the Game:

Limitations on Your Use of the Service.
  1. Only Blizzard or its licensees have the right to host the Game. You may not host or provide matchmaking services for the Game, or intercept, emulate or redirect the proprietary communication protocols used by Blizzard in connection with the Program, regardless of the method used to do so. Such prohibited methods may include, but are not limited to, protocol emulation, reverse engineering, modifying the Program, adding unauthorized components to the Program, or using a packet sniffer while the Program is running.

(I have bolded the pertinent information)

Hey, you can just stand around and play on your private servers and get anally raped if you want, but I ain't taking that chance (+2 points to whoever gets the AR reference).

What about all of the other countries that pirate copy righted material? You know in Canada its perfectly legal to download all copy righted material.
