I suppose it would be against some freaky law or contract to just run a packet sniffer when it sends the information and see for ourselves...

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure running a packet sniffer while running WoW is a perma-banable offense. Blizzard REALLY doesn't want us to know exactly what they are sending across the networks for their game.

More likely than not the data is encrypted. I doubt you would see anything legible with a packet sniffer.

Packet sniffing packets that are coming across YOUR OWN wire is not illegal, I'm pretty sure.

You don't have to break any laws for Blizzard to ban you. It's their game, they can make any rules they want.
