So are you going to have a feed that filters them out for your RSS readers? Being already subscribed to WoW.com's RSS it will be just redundant feeds I'll have to scan through.

Heh, yeah, right.

The only reason they are doing this is to increase page views.

Absolutely – for example, a WoW.com reader who also reads Massively via RSS wouldn't want the duplication.

Tim: Despite what your cynical predisposition might have you believing, it's not always about the pageviews. Our mandate for Massively: be the best MMO blog on the planet. Sharing WoW content with WoW.com is one step towards that goal. If being the best means earning pageviews, well ... then, the business model works.

Chris, you say that as if Massively and WoW.com aren't sister sites belonging to the same organization; there's really little logic in duplicating content the way you announced it, else than to increase page views for announcers. I don't say this to be cynical, let's just be forward about it.

@Christopher Grant: More blog in this blog then, imo. Right now this is a decent news site to find a lot of MMO news all in one place, but it lacks a certain level of originality and personal content.

In a way, pasting news from another site just serves to reinforce what a lot of people here are saying even if it would improve the coverage of this site.
