I highly doubt anyone would get perma banned for exploiting. Seriously, it's not about the game, it's about the $$.


On a side note, if you sign a year's contract, and you get perma banned, what does the fine print say? Do they still try to take your money for a year?


Doesn't matter what they try to do. You could always charge it back through the CC company with no problem at all. At least that is the way it is in the US, not sure of the EU.

All I read was:

Would have no "famous" (aka "no-life" guild been involved, you can be sure it would have been perma-bans, or at least much longer bans.



That's highly unlikely.


Can you name a single guild that was perma-banned for a one-time use of a buggy game mechanic? I know of one guild that got a temporary ban for modding the game files to allow them to fall through the world to c'thun, which seems pretty extreme as far as cheating. I know of another guild that got disbanded because they encouraged cheating and harassment, but I don't think they were permabanned.


Edit: the c'thun raid who hacked the gamefiles was permabanned.

Sparked my interest so I looked it up for you.

The World of Warcraft guild Overrated has been permanently banned by Blizzard Entertainment after it was caught cheating in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Guild members used an exploit that essentially knocked down walls, according to postings on World of Warcraft-related forums.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

The c'thun trash was horrible. It took hours for my guild to clear trash mobs just to twin emps. That whole dungeon was kind of messed up and stupid, plus I never got the red bug mount.


I believe there was public outcry when this became public, and kind of forced blizzard's hand. My memory is fuzzy since it was so long ago, but I think they dished out temporary bans, then made them permanent.


I also managed to pull cthun from the entrance, once. It was hilarious. The raid was getting eyebeamed, mass hysteria. That was when warlock's imps could walk through walls and stuff.
