Herbalist Hacker in Scholazar Basin

#0 - Aug. 10, 2010, 8:32 p.m.

A level 59 Dk named [Removed] has been hacking while farming herbs in the basin alnight and I did put in a ticket but of course it will be days before it is answered.

He walks in the air blinking and running then once you get close to him he disappears, I looked up his armory and of course he is a 450 herbalist and each time i go to legitimally farm herbs they seem to disappear as i try and farm them.

This is getting worse and worse as some people farm and others hack constantly for days with nothing being done, Blizz must have really easy code or horrible programmers who can't detect someone walking through air and warping all over. You say that people can't buy gold yet you allow all the gold farmers to exist.

We say that such practices are not permitted, Missaluras, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Our goal is not only catch those who may be doing this but also prevent them whenever possible.

What you may not understand, and I believe several people have tried to express, is that catching these actions are not nearly as simple as many may believe. Remember that many of these programs are designed to work within ours and remain undetected. That is why it can take awhile for these investigations to be completed, though we confirm that an individual may be using a third party program it is important to look into how they are able to do that and find the markers that will lead us to others using the same or similar programs.

So please, if you see someone who you believe is using an exploit or third party program, report them via an in-game petition. Your investigation will be used to look into the character.
