@Soulpriest would be happy to know that an exploit is now considered cheating by Blizzardâs definition lol

Iâm pretty sure the exploiters are the bad guys weâre fighting like Gallywix.
Well, at least now we know Gallywix can actually be killedâŠ
Whether or not itâs mathematically possible to do so given the gearing of the RWF guilds remains to be seen, though.
You cared enough to comment when it wasnât directed at you.
Have the day you deserve Snotty.

Except the part where it impacts the design of the game in a negative way for the majority of the player base.
[insert meme of that british guy saying: âOh No!.. well anywayâŠâ]
Good to hear the devs and such are more or less keeping on the ball stopping cheaters. (hopefully they were aware of foul play Before the players commented on it)
Honestly tho it dosenʻt affect my enjoyment of the game in the slightest if they kept the title or not. 
PLaces like CCP games with eve they avoid this issue with devs/gm chars in game given implants.
they carry the internal âspellsâ. and the gamers canât sneak their way into that code.
I give this setup props. Someone took apart the code to find and use this. Iâd gather this was beyond press tilde key, type -godmode.

This wasnât an exploit, it was an insurance scam by Gallywix. He took out a huge policy on the Gallagio, his workers, and himself and then told everyone to just play dead. He even stuffed a dummy of himself into his mech to fake his death and is now collecting massive payments under the name of Gail E. Wicks.

How is that even possible in 2025?

its a 21 year old game. lots of spaghetti code
We can only dream. Blizz acts quickly on anything that undermines (heh) max-level content to the benefit of players. Just about everything else is more of aâŠâeh, weâll see if we can pencil it inâ thing.

First - GREAT JOB!. Thank you for doing your due dilligence on this and preserving the integrity of the game.
Second - please please PLEASE do us all a huge courtesy and extend this sort of quick action to other facets of the game. Ranked PvP (since shadowlands, but especially since mid-dragonflight) has been rampant with cheating, wintrading and game throwing at the highest level of play in solo brackets.
In shuffle for all of S3/S4 there were people running rotation/kick bots all day. A known ret/bm botterwas called out on twitter and responded on Vanguardâs discord and admitted it, said the stuff was easy to find and claimed he did it for fun because he didnât care and wanted to delete the toons after âexperimentingâ cringe. I wouldnât know firsthand if it was as prevalant last season given that I didnât push as hard, but I do know these things donât exist in a vacuum.
Blitz is the real culprit. I donât play blitz much as the bg scene has long since stopped being of interest to me (Iâd rather play with people I know or practice things in shuffle then queue actual arenas). This is going to sound tinfoil hat - but I spoke to a friend who made it to the HOTA/HOTH cutoff this season, super cool dude whoâs been working at it for a long time and told me (admittedly as second hand information) that NEARLY EVERY player who pushed to R1 in blitz wintraded or threw games for friends.
At that rating people are queueing at 4am - 5am est to ensure they only get high mmr queues a 3600 player does not want a game at 2800 where they gain 0 points and lose 72 on a loss. This sort of late night queueing really isnât a bad thing (even though its a bit sweaty and cringe). What is bad is that many of these players hang out in the same discords and wait to ensure they queue INTO THE SAME MATCH and then will drop a game or two to feed their friends CR.
A lot of the guys doing it are/were friends or people Iâd queued with in the past. I really donât have time for this kind of crap personally, but Iâd be very disappointed if there isnât a major action taken against these players after seeing the very appropriate and prompt response to this overstep in PvE.
The PvP Community in WoW is small and dwindling, but we love the game! Those of us that still care about the integrity of the game want to see players who pull this stuff given a little bit more than a slap on the wrist. R1 has a lot of meaning to people - in any bracket. We want to see skilled and talented players recognized and titled!And this is a good opportunity for blizzard to really showcase that they care and do not tolerate rampant (and blatant) cheating.
I and others like myself are INTENSELY passionate about the game. When youâre a 20+ year veteran of the game, you learn to stop sweating the small stuff. But we do care about what matters, and integrity is the sort of thing we all value .

It seems pretty bad that itâs even possible for anyone to gain access to internal testing abilities on live servers by any means.

Some devs think they are gods/goddessesâŠand players are mere mortals who cannot fathom their greatness.
Iâve known lots of coders like this.
Some devs forget long ago they were that college student breaking into games they were playing, whose devs thought the same exact thing.

that was also hilarious, using engineer bombs
=D
that run is 50/50 with some players
i get it if in rotation but after one or two bombs test i would not push it
I think this is one of the instances where I side with the no life tryhards here.
Back then, using engi bombs was a tryhard min max thing for optimal DPS so the player(s) in question werenât doing anything out of the ordinary with the intent to cheatâŠunlike clearly this exploit and other past exploits that ultimately show Blizzard favoritism for the no life mythic raiding tryhards and the orgs behind them when those players get, at worst, slaps on the wrist.
It isnât like say Cata DragonSoul when players discovered how to abuse the new LFR feature and the ability to trade gear to keep a bug hidden where players could be in an instance/start the fight with a group, hearth out, leave group, and still be eligible to have loot traded to them without being flagged for killing the boss leading to no life heroic raiding tryhards (mythic as a name didnât exist yet) to abuse an unreported bug to gear up their tanks amongst other toons (Cata tier sets had really strong raid wide defensive powers tied to tank specs tier).
Amongst other examples.
