Vaeflare -- Reporting players
We appreciate that many of you wish to take an active role in reporting players that may be using third-party programs for illegitimate gains. As others have mentioned in this thread, however, such discussion would be better served by making sure your examples do not include the names or armory links of other players. Regardless of the intent, calling out other players is not permitted on the forums.
If you feel that another player is botting, you can report them by submitting an in-game ticket or by utilizing our Battle.net Support ticket form: https://us.battle.net/support/en/ticket/submit

Just checked out the full rules (quoted below), so professions wouldnt work either...
1. All gear employed must be White or Grey. Also, no Heirlooms of any sort.
2. No transfer of gear, items, or money from any other character (yours or others).
3. No gear enhancement(s), thus no socketed gems, enchanting or reforging. Exceptions exist for class abilities (example: rogue poisons).
4. No specializations, talent points, or glyphs. This restriction also applies to talent points for pets.
5. No professions or secondary skills. An exception is made for First Aid.
6. No potions/flasks/elixirs (except those labeled as quest Items).
7. No food buffs or other external buffs (this includes buffs from items and other players).
8. No grouping or assistance from other characters, even if not grouped.
9. No dungeons/raids. No battlegrounds/arenas.
10. No guilds. An exception is made for Iron Man guilds. No guild perks.
11. No Recruit-A- Friend activities. The intention of the challenge is that it be done without assistance.
12. No add-ons that assist in combat and/or leveling.
13. THE BIG ONE: No deaths. Character death for any reason disqualifies the character.
Permitted:
- All mounts
- All bags/containers
- All quests (including holiday and daily quests)
- You may train and use all your class skills (including your own buffs)

I was just about to suggest leveling by Archy, but you're right. It does say no professions.

While we are on the topic of botting, I was playing around with Multi-boxing, and I was wondering what the line is between multi-boxing and botting.
I wasn't sure if some of the add-ons in Curse could be considered botting or not. (Not that I can get any of them to work properly.....must rtfm)

I just happened to find the Ghostly Skull pet in Dalaran too...I was surprised! Never knew that was there.

Me either, until I was about 5 away from 100 and started looking up where I could get the last few.

I only looked to see what sort of out-dated stuff the vendor had. Imagine my surprise. I was down there fishing for the Giant Sewer Rat again, and all this time there was another pet behind me that I could have easily bought.
Sort of funny to me that I got the Kirin Tor familiar long before I got the skull.
