Okay…he couldn’t even wait to get into the dungeon to use it.
That’s just blatant cheating–they don’t even care if they get caught anymore…probably because they know they will get away with it.
This game is becoming more and more of a joke.

You wanna talk about how dumb “forum experts” are while acting like a “forum expert” (the whole time sounding like a complete fool I might add)
Most of what I said there has been paraphrased over the years by multiple Blizzard CMs.
Your opinion has been noted, thank you.
Video of teleport hacking for lotus farming taken moments ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/ixh9l6/video_of_black_lotus_bot_flyhacking_to_lotus/
This should have been done at launch…that’s how a typical game functions.

If they wanted to remove bots instantly AND all gold farmers…all they would have to do is disable vpn usage. Now use your imagination why they haven’t…maybe cause $$$ would be lost…

Meanwhile: a buddy of mine caught an automated 7 day ban for going AFK in an AB because he got called away from the PC longer than he thought and was reported by his team while afk.
VPN is a standard part of internet security these days. It’s not like the old times where it was only used to bypass things.

It would still accomplish the same goal.
You guys are missing the point. If Blizzard wanted to fix fly and teleport hacks, they could instantly. They are a mega billion dollar company and fully own the product, and all code bases.
To not fix this hack server-side is deplorable. Shame on Blizzard.

“if they could solve the botting issue with a half percent increase to their staff, they would” - How can you even know this? I request that you please stop posting false information.

Because of $$$ and all the shady stuff that happens behind the scenes at Blizzard.
They let it get out of control intentionally and they dont ban hackers or bots because the hack and bot accounts just generate more money each month for Blizzard.
Actually I believe that classic’s total playerbae isnt as big as it seems as well. Most people are running multiple accounts to cheese professions and to do other cheating nonsense like multiboxing or running botting programs with they’re alt accounts. Id say roughly 30% of classics total population is just active alt accounts that people have to cheat the game with.
Brundle hacked the fly. The results were not optimal.
this was a bigger deal when the game had to be bought for $60
You would think it would be easy to trace everyone bouncing around on the Z-Axis of the world…
How on earth do you know this can be fixed trivially?
This is an obvious lie. You have no idea WHAT the actual problem is, much less how it can be prevented (“fixed”).
No you haven’t. You’ve seen pixels created on your screen. There was no physical hunter to see, and your WoW game screen isn’t a camera. So you saw an illusion.

As a multibillion dollar company making tens of millions a month on this game, bugfixes as thus represent a minor revenue expenditure.
-
The fix has already been done on private servers. The fix is this: When a player location updates in an irregular way (eg, xyz coord change not naturally occurring within a slight buffer), disconnect them and push towards actioning the account.
The #2 is extremely low cost to impliment and is easy to refine and it is highly effective and accurate on private servers.
Further, teleport hacking is one of the first game integrity checks done by any game. Bliz seems to take the exception.
