We've all seen this coming. The end of all cheating as we know it comes at the advent in new Blizzard technology.
The Blizzard Launcher.
It scans your computer for all personal information, including credit cards, SSN #, cheats, hacks, and your Xunleashed forum ID complete with paypal. This is the most drastic and hostile move by Blizzard yet, sending a beacon call to SWAT teams in a 50 mi radius to arrive at your door on detection of a cheat.
All of which was just said above is 100% true.
But, not to worry.
Q: How can I bypass the Blizzard Launcher?
A: Because the Blizzard Launcher was designed to provide quick access to World of Warcraft and to important World of Warcraft-related information, as well as to help protect you from harmful programs that might have been installed on your computer without your knowledge (or on the computer on which you’re playing World of Warcraft), we strongly recommend that you use the Blizzard Launcher as your starting point for the game. However, if you prefer to bypass the Blizzard Launcher and do without the benefits it provides, you can run World of Warcraft by double-clicking the WoW.exe file located in your World of Warcraft installation folder (generally C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft).
I wonder how this will affect cheating/scamming/ruining on World of warcraft. Can it just be circumvented this easily?
