Simple lag will cause glitches, but let go back to a long time ago in a wow no so far away when during a patch update all PVP gear was worth 0 arena points. Most of the "HACKS" are improperly tested items on Blizzards end. I really don't believe in the Authenticator! I believe its a blizzard ploy to get users to spend more money. Lets claim someone got hacked when we leaked the information out to other people cause our system isn't secured enough. I'm pretty sure if I'm logging in with an IP from Florida and 5 min later I'm logging in from China that something is wrong. Not saying I haven't logged into my wife's account from a different state just so I can get something crafted, which the authenticator would jack up! Considering I'm always on the road the authenticator is not for me. I'm not always in a place with wireless so my Ipod Touch is out of the question and if I lost the lil usb thing ( which would be one more damn thing for me to loose ) I'd be SOL. The addition of battle net has fixed some of the problems, but now people have a direct e-mail address to hijack your e-mail account and then from there get into your wow account. Anyone else remember the HOTMAIL work around people were using with MSN messenger? For people who post their myspace/facebook/twitter info on their page including their screen names all it takes is your hometown info to get into your hotmail account after a lost password. Hmmm now that they have your e-mail they have your WOW anyways and can change your password and authenticator is useless! Personally I've never been hacked... then again I tend not to use that many addons ( that many keyloggers are hidden in! ) Curse gaming for a while had a huge problem with that but it seems to be fixed. With people with MANGOS I understand developing a local hack to get info. I'm just saying I'm not buying into the whole " GOLD SPAMMERS create programs to steal gold BS" IF you enter your info or give your info out that is your fault. If you download some off the wall addon to "TRY IT OUT" then that is your fault as well! And I do believe Blizzard is not 100% safe when it comes to my account info. I'm pretty sure someone there on the side is selling your info to people just to make a few extra bucks. Look at the quality of things lately. After every patch there is horrible lag, the next expansion is poorly done and all for 5 levels, they are removing green stats to make gear easier to calculate for their side and the lazy user side, oh ya and they still take up to 2 weeks to respond to one GM ticket on most servers, then say too much time has passed! With all the lag based glitches in the game things they can not put 100% of the blame on anyone else other than themselves! They are just blowing smoke screen up our asses and most people are buying it. Shows you how un-intelligent most people are if they are gonna buy into this crap just because they miss use the 100+ million they receive a month from us users!
Don't Buy Gold!
Recently Eyonix made a post stating some reasons why buying gold is bad and effects everyone. According to Blizzard an alarming high majority of the gold comes from hacked accounts, a lot of players these days know at least one person who has been hacked and knows how devastating it can be to a player. A lot of these people have been hacked by either getting keyloggers or using power-leveling services and then being hacked months later. They also make baby murlocs cry according to Eyonix.
Blizzard has also created an informational page on this whole subject which you can view here.
You can read the original post after the jump.

Buying gold makes baby murlocs cry. If that isn’t enough to dissuade you all by itself, you might be interested in checking out the informational webpage that we put together to make sure players have the facts about the negative impact of purchasing gold and using power-leveling services. Our goal is to shed some light on how these companies operate, share some of the measures we’re constantly taking to combat them, raise awareness of the detrimental effects these services have on all players -- not just the buyers -- and help protect members of our community from being targeted by them. So give it a read -- it’ll only take a few minutes. And don’t buy gold. Because you wouldn’t want little Murky’s tears on your conscience, would you?
