In keeping with Blizzard's aggressive stance against cheating in World of Warcraft, we have since patch 1.10 banned over 5,400 accounts and suspended 10,700 more for participating in activities that violate the game's Terms of Use, including using third-party programs to farm gold and items. Such actions can severely impact the economy of a realm and the overall game enjoyment for all players.

We will continue to aggressively monitor all World of Warcraft realms in order to protect the service and its players from the harmful effects of cheating. Please note that selling World of Warcraft content, such as gold, items, and characters, can result in a permanent ban of the involved accounts from World of Warcraft.

Many account closures come as the direct result of tips reported to our GMs in game or emailed to hacks@blizzard.com by legitimate World of Warcraft players. If you suspect that a World of Warcraft player is using an illegal third-party program to farm gold or items, or is otherwise violating our Terms of Use, please report the suspected infraction via one of the means listed above. All reports will be investigated, and those that prove false will not result in corrective action.

Thank you for your continued support, and good luck with your adventures in Azeroth!

-Blizzard Entertainment

I suppose they missed me.

Any cheat/hack can be caught, unless you usually monitor what your doing and you don't look too suspicious!

Anyone here get caught with the lastest update?? What if they were monitoring people weeks before and finally added the numbers and banned all at once? Cuz I don't think they can actually ban 10k people in a day rite?

From what I hear, they only banned people with teleport hacks. IE: BWH (Bubba's Warcraft Hack) Which let people warp and kill bosses fast. (Think: Ace Of Warlords) Do a /who Dire Maul and there shouldn't be 10 level 60 hunters there anymore

My Brother got his account cancelled for apparently using 'third pary software'. He only uses Ometh UI Mod and blizzard will not tell him exactly why it was cancelled. The only thing I can think of was because of lag. He had an unsecured wireless router and he didn't know people were using his broadband and he was getting high latency. I have secured connection for him now, but do you know of anyway to appeal ?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
