tbc-classic Flyhacking NoClip Bot Caught Inside Dungeon

[Starym 3,800]

 

Botting has been a huge issue in WoW, with Classic suffering from it in particular, and while many players keep reporting them and Blizzard keep banning based on those reports, one particular outlier has been a problem for a long time now.

We've seen the "flyhacking" aka noclipping bots out in the open world plenty of times, but when they go into their private instances we can't really get a good look at what's going on. Luckily we have a particularly persistent player that poked around a bot trying to get into the Mana Tombs dungeon and actually managed to get the bot to join their party - and then followed the bot into the instance to see what was going on in there:

As they later found out via Priest Mind Vision, the bots go around the instance picking up the herbalism and mining nodes, reset and repeat. Also, in case the player who caught the bot seems familiar, that's actually JokerD, the first Classic level 60 player who also ninja-looted a Staff of Domination and got kicked from his esports org because of it (the same org he's now back with). 

Here's the extended version from the start, as you can see when they manage to get the bot to join in the party onwards:

The clip and fly bug was completely exposed in the pre-patch for cataclysm, in 2010. (bots flew their chars in the air and drop them dead to form letters on the floor of their gold seller websites). 11 years later, they still didn't fix the exploit.
