The distinction between exploiting bugs and abusing game mechanics is a fine one. While bug exploitation involves the abuse of what is essentially a programming mistake, the abuse of game mechanics is the act of taking advantage of the limitations of the World of Warcraft game systems. Since the line between the sanctioned use and the abuse of game mechanics is sometimes unclear, we prefer to educate players before taking any action against the account being used. This category includes using/distributing game mechanics in a manner unintended by their design that:
Negatively affects another character, their gameplay, the service itself and/or its economy
If a player is found to have abused/distributed such game mechanics, they may:
Be given a verbal warning
Subsequent related offenses will result in temporary suspension from the game
Repeatedly violating any area of the TOU, including the areas detailed above, will often result in temporary suspension from the game.
