These forums do not allow for any theories, so where does theoretical discussion belong? Theoretical discussions are great for generating exploits.
I'm fairly new to World of Warcraft, but not to game hacking. In the week that I have spent with WoW, I have already discovered an instant server crash (rollback) that can be done anywhere. I've found other (better) things too, but I'd rather not name them. It would be quite useful to see theories that people have, and discussion on Blizzard's standard exploit detection and patching procedure. For example, how long does it typically take for Blizzard to patch a private rollback? Will it remain unpatched for longer if you only use it in dungeons, rather than taking down the world server?
Also, what does it take to get access to the elite forum? The intelligent discussion that (hopefully) takes place in the elite forum is what I'm interested in, not the actual exploits that may be posted there. My experience tells me that any exploit posted in a private forum will leak when given enough time.
