They screwed up royally and now they have to somehow fix this mess up. Or they can pull a Diadem and just forget about it. Wonder what they're going to do?
It isn't against ToS since it doesn't modify the game files/code. You may as well be saying having a web browser open and posting on here or elsewhere to organize BA groups is against ToS.

I do share your concern, though, that BA goes the way of Diadem's EM in the next month or so. I think it'll take a little longer due to the rewards kept within it (the mount being guaranteed from a clear helps), but come 5.0 I expect it'll be as dead as EMs. I hope I'm wrong.
