A major guild has been banned for allegedly cheating. The guild in question, Overrated, admit that they broke the rules of the game - but feel the punishment is a little harsh. For their part, developer are keen to crack down on those damaging the game experience for other players, a crucial move in the world's most populous persistent world. Members of the guild had been caught using an exploit which quite literally knocked down walls, giving the members somethingof an advantage.

The alleged naughtiness occurred on the map AQ40, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, a dungeon level which sees players moving in a circle through the level's bosses. The guild used the saucy exploit in order to negate bosses dropping lesser-items, moving them quicker to final boss C'thun, and the riches in his possession.

"Let me explain. We are the only Horde guild that clears Naxx, been like that for a few weeks. People found that the pre-C'thun trash was so painful, that they decided to install some stupid thing that deletes walls or something, and you can just run there after Skeram. I know, we had it coming, blah blah whatever, we know we deserve it...I'm sure they'll try and get it rescinded because it's kind of a steep punishment with no recourse or whatever," admitted member Pantaloon. More on this soon.
