This message is to report the speed hacking abuse since 3.2( not counting the ones before 3.2)


I recently was farming my stacks of saronite the manual way and found that i could never hit a node without someone else getting it first...but no one was there, my friends thought me crazy and were even skeptical saying that blizzard fails and ore just bugs out...but i said no its not a bug, or many more would complain...

its speed hacking, and they are under the grid. They have some sort of software that allows them to go beneath wintergrasp and move at speeds that would get you auto banned if you could be seen.

But the problem is that they go invis when they go beneath wg. Blizz needs to fix this issue.

i know there will be some trolls saying wheres this proof, well i got a tinypic screen shot and ill set it up for you.

I reach a mining node, a saronite node, and once i get there it says that someone is using it, so i hit ctrl+v and i see a lvl 70 night elves portrait but no body is standing there. SO where is he? well he is in wg farming ore, destroying the AH and making all us poor wow addicts look like saps cause we farm and have to compete against a bot...were playing against a pc...who doesn't sleep or get tired or get hungry or move...and he gets rich as hell and banks his main off it, or worse sells gold.

what now? can we get an official post explaining why warden, the decorated software protector is not working against Chinese gold farmers, or even an 11 year old (most likely) who got some speed hack software?

And from the community, i ask what do you think? cause surely im not the only one butthurts about this BS.

ps this is a dual post there is one on my Realms forums to alert those players.


****UPDATE*****
im including a hack report forum here for any interested in reporting the hacktards:
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&tag=hacksform

also found a post about wintergrasp mining in which a blue posted so ill share that:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=17779678520&postId=177777988291&sid=1#2

and like alot of ppl are saying Blizzard seems powerless to prevent these speed hackers, although i would think they could shutdown the hacker sites that provide the software, same as they did with MMO-Glider.

But as Desorull says, "Please report these players in game, and do not post links to cheats/hacks since you can and will be banned from the forums."

hopefully this forum helps those interested in know why they got affected by speed hackers and exploiters.

We will continue to develop new methods to address this form of exploitation, and will do everything we can to remove these players from the game as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we humbly request that you continue to open in-game petition should you see this form of exploitation taking place in the game.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation despite any frustration this issue might cause.
