Hackers use exploit to massacre entire cities in World of Warcraft

"I wish I could do that in EvE every time I saw an AFK bot miner."

Why does it matter what time of day you do it? (and why would anyone, even AFK whoever he is, mine bots?)

Well, this news is just as useful to us as that rocket to the coyote - yahoo!

This is great!!!! I agree the money farmers need to have this happend to them!!! Maybe Bliz should instigate a system similar to this to take out the chinese money bots. Or the AFK botters. Either way it would be great to see!

Its a funny hack.. hehehe
how about blizzard doing something about the gold sellers? not just in wow but in diablo 3 too

Gold sellers do a little bit of good and bad... They setup farming bots and supply the auction house with things that some would rather not farm on their own. Unless you like to farm, then they're annoying paladins using a scroll of resurrection account and are farming all your ore. When Blizzard shuts them down you can watch the supply drop off the AH and the prices climb to the unaffordable. It's an interesting market.

Reminds me of that scene in vege tales. People who abuse bugs for bad reasons aren't considered hackers? >_>

I 100% Agree this is not a hack just a bug someone found before Blizzard did lol Kind of like how yo uare not a hacker if you find a script online and use it haha

And, let's be brutally honest here... Gold miners add to the population numbers that Blizzard can parade through the media, and put consistently reliable subscription money into their coffers. So, it's not really in Blizzard's best interests to spend the time and resources in thwarting gold miners, until they begin causing some kind of tangible and provable damage to the population or Blizzard's profit margins.

And it's not like Blizzard can easily hop on over to China and knock on the door of one of these gold farming operations with the cops and make them stop.

My favorite part was Jadd saying "Those who didn?t enjoy the attacks should blame Blizzard for not fixing it faster" Couldn't have possibly been your fault, right Jadd? What a D-bag.

Its called Incompetence, any one who had played WoW know that blizz is ran by a group of down monkeys, even if it was hacking there is a lot of not-hacking crap on the 12 years old fat cow.
