I mean really guys...if people aren't willing to read up a little on that $400 phone they are buying, it shouldn't be the company's responsibility to verbally make sure they understand.
I agree it needs to be more prominent than the tag being displayed, and definitely in the manual or in the setup of the phone. Agree to it, or the phone doesn't work. But how many people read what they are agreeing to? They could be agreeing to give away their firstborn child and still click 'I have read and accept these terms'.
You can't idiot proof everything, the world just builds a better idiot.
I don't know about world of warcrack, but Runescape had issues where chinese gangs were farming gold and selling it for real world money to fund their gangs. They made drastic changes to the game to try to eliminate the problem, but have since undone many of those changes and now the bots are back in full force. So there is some merit in investigating it, but they should have more evidence than what they did in this case.

Verbal Confirmation....really?
