Teleport hack is back, Blizzard does nothing

I reported a few days ago a lvl 61 druid with 450 herbalism (must have died plenty of times to get there if he is 61 only or maybe... he is teleport hacking!

This individual has been farming herbs in Storm Peaks (great spot for Lichbloom and Icethorn) for days ago, 24/7 and I've seen a lvl 1 selling those same herbs at less than half the market price.

So how long will it be until Blizzard does anything about it?

When you witness this kind of thing, Makko, we ask that you report it to us via in-game petition. While we do have certain measures to detect many of these things, occasionally one may slip past the radar, so to speak. In that case, we rely on player reports to help us out. Our Game Masters would be most appreciative if you can provide them with a name and realm of the character doing this so that they can be investigated.

Thanks for your continued diligence in reporting these sorts of issues. =)

Thanks, Makko, but I am not a Game Master - I am a Customer Service Forum Representative, and I am only able to moderate the topics here and provide insight. I do not address in-game petitions.

Some investigations can take a longer time than you may expect to fully come to fruition. Keep in mind that our Game Masters are unable to provide you with the results of their findings, so it can be difficult to tell if any action has been taken. If you continue to see this player hacking or possibly botting, please continue to report it to us after a fairly generous period. 2-3 weeks in between is a fairly rough estimate, but may be a good place to start.

I do apologize for the inconvenience in the mean time, but more sensitive issues can require closer investigations and observations so that we are able to resolve it on a grander scale. =)

All the assistance we are able to lend in this forum has already been covered in this thread. I think it's best to let this rest now, and if you have any constructive suggestions you wish to post, the Suggestion Forums would be the best place to continue that discussion.
