Question: Item Id's

[Ciatic]

First off, please note that this is directed towards private servers since they have substantially less (if any) hack prevention/detected unless self coded.

Since each item has a specific itemid, wouldn't it be possible (through packet editing) to "request" specific items through random mobs? I know for a game I used to play (Gunz the duel (terrible hack prevention)) people would give themselves free premium items through the use of itemid's. Didn't know if such a thing was possible with wow, and if something like this DOES exist, I would happily be redirected.

Thanks,

Ciatic (spelled incorrectly I know)
