Only a few days after laying down the law on speed hacking, the administrators of World of Warcraft have turned their attention to the use of programs called "bots." These programs automatically play an account non-stop, allowing a player to accumulate money, items and experience without actually being physically present to play the game.

"As stated previously," a statement posted today on the World of Warcraft official website reads, "the company has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating or hacking of any kind." Anyone caught using a bot will have their characters removed and their account banned without warning. Over 300 accounts have already been banned for this offense.
