Risk : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Whats the risk of being caught using XU in WoW?

Well... I'd highly recommend not sending in error reports while using it, as when you send in an error report it lists every executable running on your system.

But really, the only way they'll catch you as it stands is by just watching your character run an unattended macro (fishing bot, and the eventual hunting bots) and realizing that it's a bot... not a person.

Along with what potobble said, one of the biggest reasons people get caught is because they talk too much. I've been working with underground forums for a few years now. Every single person that go caught using any "illegal" software was caught because they told someone what they were doing. Many of them told their "best friend" who got mad at them and reported them.

Lose lips sink ships.

P.S. I would also stay away from anything that changes how the game works such as run speed, quick porting, etc. That's a dead give away -- and they ARE watching.

I was teleporting all over HELL for a week or two.. Then they installed the new 1.2.4 patch.. The wording for the patch was a bit fishy and they just mentioned a new MOTD saying not to use hacks.

If anyone is familiar with early Warcraft 3.. They basically put code in WC3 to watch for maphackers. Never telling anyone. Then all of a sudden banned like 100,000 accounts.

So I quit using it... was fun..
