We heard this deflection a lot, but I can tell you (not that my word will convince anyone) that this isn't true, at least not for non-officers. If you remember, after the patch went live, a bunch of threads appeared on these very forums because a bunch of people's anti-viruses starting alerting them of the new file(s) and everyone was concerned about spyware, viruses, etc. There was a thread about it on the TMO forums (I think myself or some other members even posted screenshots of the discussion in the thread where everyone was just worried about viruses or keyloggers), there were a bunch of threads about it here, and it wasn't some secret. The new files were huge news and everyone was talking about it. Anyways, I can't remember ever getting any sort of warning *before* the patch dropped, because I clearly remember ventrilo and guildchat exploding as everyone's antivirus was trying to delete patch files [You must be logged in to view images.
