Hacking - Teleport/Mining

#0 - June 28, 2009, 3:12 p.m.

So, yesterday on my server, Bleeding Hollow, I noticed a level 61 Paladin (non guilded), same faction mining under the groud in Sholazar Basin. You couldn't target him at all, and he was non-flagged. I added him to my friends and noticed he was going from Sholazar to Icecrown to Borean Tundra to Dragonblight in a matter of seconds. I opened a ticket. I am not sure what, if anything, happened to him.

Armory link of said offender: <removed>

Today, I was doing the fishing quest in Wintergrasp and low and behold, another hacker. This time, it was a level 80 Paladin, (non guilded), same faction that was hovering 10 yards off the ground, non flagged, but going quicker than I have seen anyone go before. She 'flew' by me so many times, so I know it wasn't lag. I added her to my friends list and opened a ticket.

In the years I have been playing this game, I have NEVER seen two hackers in two days. Is Blizzard doing anything to prevent this type of stuff?

Armory link of said offender: <removed>

I am assuming the second offender recently transfered or something, as they're not showing up in the Armory.

I will also post this in the CS forums, but I would interested to know if other people on other servers are seeing this same thing?

First, please refrain from calling other players out on the forums, as that is a violation of our forum Code of Conduct:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/forum-coc.html

Now, that said, we absolutely do take this kind of exploitation extremely seriously and it is not being ignored. I encourage you to report this player to us via an in-game petition, and please make a note of the player's exact name, the realm you found them on, and the activity you observed.

Our staff will be more than happy to investigate and deal with this situation appropriately. Additionally, we are continuing to work against activities like these in a more broad base way. Your reports are invaluable ammunition in these efforts, as the more we learn about the techniques and tactics those who would employ these practices use, the more effectively we can combat them.

Thank you for doing your part to make World of Warcraft a better place to play.
