    Email from blizzard about model editing

    Greetings Justin,

    Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

    Petition: I was wondering if i could get banned for editing my ingame models, or if i could get banned for having a speech2.mpq file in my data folder, nothing that edits gameplay, just changes my looks, is this acceptable?

    Answer: While this is not a violation of our policies (there are mods that do this, for example), it's something I'd highly recommend against because of the potential to destroy or corrupt needed files.

    Should you require further assistance, please submit another help request the next time you are online. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!

    For any game play questions, please refer to our site at

    Demonkunda double posted!! Lol. There point is they dont want you to do anything such as Dark portal/campfire, instanceswaps, or anything that could give u an advantage. Yes instance swapping will give u an advantage, be cause with propper skills, u can do a lot of stuff. Like i watched a video of sm1 who skipped right to the dragon in naxx, right before kelthuzard

    Greetings Kim,


    Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

    Petition: Hi GM(s)

    I am wondering is model changing illegal. mean only changing the look that i
    have not so i can get some places i couldn't enter without using some models
    such as making a camp fire to a dark portal to get higher?

    PS. can u make the warden better get a 72 hours ban for using itunes?

    Kim

    Answer: Yes it is against policies to use these types of programs, it would be considered exploitation. Please refrain from using these types of programs.

    Hi Blizzard
    I heard a rumor that says that u guys have been scanning mpq files for model changes.
    is model changing forbidden in World OF Warcraft?

    Re: Email from blizzard about model editing

    well, now that everyone is sending blizz e-mails about model changing, guess what they are gonna start checking for? I wonder...gosh...

    and of course if you say that it could be used twords your advantage they are gonna say its against the rules... you shouldnt have said "not so i can get some places i couldn't enter without using some models
    such as making a camp fire to a dark portal to get higher?"

    Re: Email from blizzard about model editing

    You also have to remember, there is a difference between model editing for your looks, and model editing in order to get somewhere that you are not suppose to go.

    Re: Email from blizzard about model editing

    I would assume changing herbs to be more noticable would be illegal?

    Other than that, all my changes are just Dave-evaD's repack and a little change or 2 I made that changes the startup screen.

    i believe it depends on the GM that talks to you, alot have point of views like "oh thats not THAT bad to get ban" OR u get the hard asses who follow the books- " /ban no questions asked"
