PWND. ;)

So what did they drop?

On a serious note. lets hope this puts a major dent in the gold seller industry in WoW.

Not that I expect so after hearing (on NPR or BBC I think) of Chinese political prisoners forced by the guards to farm gold in WoW to 'supplement' the wages the guards were getting.

- If they can't use bots now, will they need to grab up more of those prisoners...

I don't think it would affect it much. Most gold isn't farmed, it is stolen from other accounts.

Not that we'll ever know but I do wonder how many Glider users got hacked and lost all the stuff they cheated to get in the first place.

"I don't think it would affect it much. Most gold isn't farmed, it is stolen from other accounts."

I kind of find myself wondering about this. I've seen the huge amounts of gold a bot can make by automatic farming. Do enough people really have enough money and get hacked often enough to sustain the supply for the enormous goldselling market?

It takes maybe five to ten minutes to empty an account of several thousand gold if not more. There is no game time involved, no accounts to be banned, no risk at all.
