Today
was
a
day
of
reckoning
for
cheaters,
exploiters,
and
gold
farmers
alike
as
Blizzard
suspended
more
than
10,000
World
of
WarCraft
user
accounts
and
banned
5,400
others.
Blizzard
announced
that
most
of
the
offending
accounts
were
disciplined
for
abusing
in-game
mechanics,
automated
programs,
gold
farming,
and
violating
the
terms
of
use
policy.
A
post
on
the
Blizzard
forums
regarding
the
recent
action
says
"Such
actions
can
severely
impact
the
economy
of a
realm
and
the
overall
game
enjoyment
for
all
players.
We
will
continue
to
aggressively
monitor
all
World
of
Warcraft
realms
in
order
to
protect
the
service
and
its
players
from
the
harmful
effects
of
cheating."
This
is
just
another
chapter
in
Blizzard's
continuing
battle
against
cheaters
and
like-minded
players
with
bad
intentions.
It's
good
to
see
that
the
developer
isn't
afraid
to
play
a
little
hardball.
