Using Hacks And Exploits To Make Gold

First off, let me make it clear that you shouldn't use hacks or exploits in WoW, or your account is going to get banned. But for honest players who have been around for a while, it is difficult not to notice hackers. There are many cheaters who play the game under many accounts in order to mine gold.

If you have been playing for a while then you have probably seen blatant cheating going on at least once. So let's look at some of the different hacks and cheats that exist.

Basic Exploits:

Simple exploits are errors in programming that players can take advantage of to do something that they would not normally be able to use. You might be able to find an exploit to go places you could not normally go, or to perform some kind of feat. Exploits like this do not require any programming knowledge to take advantage of and many players just stumble across them. They are often fixed in patches by Blizzard.

Basic Cheating:

This goes a little further than using exploits. With cheating, the player goes out of their way to do something that can get them banned, and a level of programming knowledge is required to do this. For Blizzard, cheats are harder to get rid of than simple exploits. They will ban any account they find is using a cheat, but it is difficult to detect unless the player is really raking up a huge amount of gold. Cheats are commonly abused by players and are often available to download online.

Outright Hacking:

This is the most advanced way to manipulate the game and make gold. A hack involves rebuilding the game for the players liking, so that they can do things they could never normally do. The most damaging hacks can actually allow a player to sell items they do not actually possess, or unlocking things for their profession. Hacks can also do things like load the game without any graphics or allow players to wall hack and more. These are easily detected by Blizzard, and you can definitely get your account banned if you try things like this.

Because all of the three methods will undoubtedly get your account banned if Blizzard finds out what you are doing, it is not recommended that you try any of them. Also, the game is much more secure than it was when it first came out in late 2004, and so exploits are much harder to come by. It is recommended that you stick with buying gold or investing in a strategy guide and doing it legitimately.
