(You can skim this if you want as it does have good information and points. If I had more time id make a better draft and plan this out but I have 3 exams tomarrow. Ive read quite a few posts of the wonders of wow and I just wanted to put my two cents in for all you wondering how and why what is happening, is happening.)
First came nerfs, those were done by blizzard.
Then came the exploits...
Then came the people that need to get a life... Seriously...
As has been going on now for quite some time. A Speedhack unlike the ones of past mmrpgs. Could you imagine? A Server asking your client WTF you are? or How fast are you going?
Blizzard made one of the worlds most enjoyable games to only let it be plagued by hacks worse than diablo II.
Like any other MMRPG wow has more and more botters every day as it is a easy thing to do with all the scripting programs and such running rampent. Quite frankly I dont care about botting, what I do care about is how all these things put together if not corrected soon by blizzard is going to be a problem.
CAUSE:
Blizzard knew that there game was going to be big, they just didnt relize that they were going to have such a demand as it does. With over 600k players in the USA and I belive a even greater number than that in eurpope, wow is expanding faster than they can handle the game. They are already manning a chinese beta and I belive they just recently announced some other places as well.
EFFECT:
Literaly just a few days ago players started to see signs of life on the WOW webpage. They hadent untill recently updated the webpage with any type of information as to what we could expect to see in WOW or when. The last patch that changed anything was in december.... here it is march and they just now have a content patch going live.
It added ONE THING of content that everyone can enjoy. The MEETING STONES as its horrible in the upper lvls to find a group to do quests.
Also with this ever expanding world of theres they seem to be over looking what is happening to the world.......
BIG PICTURE/ ARGUMENT!
What seems to be the biggest time sink in most MMRPGS is getting around. This game had and has some of the most pointless detuors known to man. In some cases its literaly quicker to ride your horse than to take the bird. BUT!!! This is how it was...
How it is for some people know is listed below in a post on the WOW fourm by a GM.

Yes, they are banning people allright.
-First off, they arent tracking it unless you have been reported for doing such a activity.
-Secound I CANT BELIVE THEY HAD THE CLIENT RESPONSEABLE FOR THIS CRAP! Who would think to look for this in the client side? IT SHOULDNT BE THERE! This is like a halflife server asking where you are on the map.
Why is this such a issue? Whyll the teleport hack does have some nice uses, its a CHEAT HACK and is being used for a even bigger exploit.
Ive mentioned two cheats so far, BOTS and TELEPORT hack.
Now imagine being able to not only to teleport to locations like a house or a dungen, but literaly ABOVE or BELOW the world? This is in this game.
It was pictured from even back in beta of people useing the teleport hack to float into the air and be above everything, killing them for xp and loot. What does this cause?
Imagine a AOE "Area of effect mage" casting spells that do area damage.... Mages do a ton of dmg one on one. Mages with AOE can do massive dmg in a area, but the downside in most cases is they cant move and are weak. IF THEY CANT GET HIT THAN THEY CAN KILL ALL THEY WANT AND LEVEL AT A INSANE PACE!
So lets take this in order for those of you scanning this thread.
I quit wow in febuary as I saw this crap comeing. Im just letting people know what they are getting into joining wow at this point in time. IT IS A FUN GAME- But the economy fluctuates more than our gas prices.
-Use teleport hack to setlocations to lvl a charecter ANY CHARECTER to lvl 10 within 20 minutes whyll AFK.
HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS?
That teleport hack allows them to move REALLY fast and going to a new area grants you xp. If you have the coords for darn near everywhere then just imagine going at 600x to a game that has hardly any loading...
From level ten on these peopel need to level theselvs to 18.
At 18 they are going to VC or the deadmines as they are called.
HOW DID I SAY BLIZZARD WAS CATCHING THESE PEPOPLE? Blizzard is catching them by people reporting them. You can report someone that is in a instance by themself.
*Being in a instance is like a private dungen*
From then on they can macro till there hearts content killing the boss or what ever else they like in the level.
()()()
Also its being used to teleport through instances to get chests that spawn and on the world itself the chests in areas.
()()
PEOPLE ARE COMBINEING THIS! With the other hacks to make fully working, hacking, cheating, bots! Bots that FARM, LEVEL, and do this all safely above or below the world.
****
Another hack these people are useing is one that even I thought blizzard should have been smarter to do something with considering Diablo II gave them the first taste of people with exploritive eyes....
The games ingame radar map for the hunters can display information about the surrounding area like, people monsters and chests. This information is currently being sent to all clients.... IT DOESNT CARE IF YOU ARENT A HUNTER! With this hack these people see literaly everything that the radar could display at all times.!!! Even the hunters in this game cant see more than one thing at a time!
*****
Blizzard is spreadings its resources to think in a attempt to steamline there game to the world. Focusing on getting new prophets instead of keeping the ones they have. They are trying to correct this by hireing new people to work for them, but those people will need time to train with the software.
My advice is to wait untill things like this are squased before joining this awsome game.
****Please belay comments like, learn to speak english and such like that as quite frankly, I didnt type this to be part of a report. I typed this to let people who need to hear it from someone who puts all the thoughts in there head down on the paper for all to see.
In the end of the day im just trying to help you, the customers and fellow comrads of the internet out by letting you know what is going on******
