I haven't researched it in depth but, according to several news
stories I have read, it's a software product that allows the user to
copy the game into their RAM (which Blizzard states is a copyright
violation) and then Glider executes against this copy, which allows
the player to play without playing. I imagine it's programmable to a
certain extent.

I just think it's pathetic that so many people can't even be bothered
to play a *game* themselves.

/agree

They have paid to buy the WoW software, are paying a monthly
subscription, plus whatever they pay/paid for Glider, to NOT play the
game.
.... and they call us legit players tools LOL.

I was hanging out in Blizzard's CSF as the first QQ on the ban-wave
was posted. I'm still LMAO

£25.99 in the uk with first month free, honestly I'm not expecting to
subscribe beyond the first free month, but we shall see...

You're welcome I really enjoyed it when they banhammered them the
last time.

Yes, that same old cliche about "doing it because I have a life and
don't want to grind" makes me laugh. If they had sufficient *friends*
to group with, the levels absolutely fly by! They are mostly sad
little loners who have no alternative but to have a robot play for
them while they go about their lonely little lives.

'Damn right.

Well said. The dailies provide substantial amounts of gold, and one
of my sons can make a couple of thousand gold a week, with no trouble
at all. That's including the fact that my kids' WoW games are set to
shut off at a reasonable time at night. He goes to college during the
day, has a gaming curfew at night, yet he can make THAT much in the
limited time he gets without having to resort to botting.

Glider users are lazy, inept cheaters who fantasize that they "have a
life", and, sad little twats that they are, they BELIEVE it

Not college as in "adult college" - he's still school age. Kids here
in the UK can go to there at 16 instead of staying in a normal school
for another couple of years. I'm not setting limits on his bedtime
He can do as he pleases after WoW shuts down at 10.30 at night, during
the week, but I won't have WoW keeping him up at all hours, when he
has to get up early. Weekends and holidays are pretty much open all
hours.should he want to indulge, but he's a sensible lad. When he hits
18, he can do as he sees fit, being a legal adult at that point. Then
HE pays for the account

Actually, he doesn't live under my roof, because of a divorce, and
prior to me setting an evening deadline he'd tend to stay up playing
until 1am+, raiding every night, and then his mother would have a hell
of a time waking him up and getting his ass off to school. I'd
trusted him to be reasonable in my absence, and had let him use his
own judgment as to when to call it a night, and he took advantage.
That was around 8 months ago, when he was still 15, and he's only very
recently turned 16. My other son is 14. I want no strife between me,
my ex-wife and also their tutors/teachers because they are too tired
to do their studies.

Not really that strict. My sons and I discussed the "curfew" and we
all agreed it was the best thing to do. Heck, they can start playing
at 7am should they wish to do so, and continue to 10.30pm on weekdays
non-stop - neither me or nor their mother have a problem with that, if
their homework is done and they've helped their mother with a chore or
two. They both have a 15-hour daily session available to them which
is more than ample - hell, even I wouldn't play that much Friday
and Saturday nights there's no limits set anyway, and my sons can
crash out asleep on the keyboard if they so wish, heh. Once they hit
the magic 18 years old, they get free rein, they pay for their own
accounts, and hopefully they've learnt along the way that a couple of
boundaries is no bad thing.

Anyway, enough of this. This isn't parenting class

It is a "bot" - a program which can be set up to manipulate world of
warcraft (NOT an addon, those are ok by blizzard - but an external
program you start before you start the game) - it then remote controls
your characters and has it running around in an area killing mobs all
night (while you sleep) - all day (while you are at work) - all eveniing
(while you are at the cinema) - and have you leveled when you come back
in the evening.

Blizzard does NOT want people to do that, and has added code to the game
which tries to scan for this - those who make the bots keep trying to
avoid being detected - so instead of working on the expansion they have
people trying to defeat the cheaters (and gold sellers etc)
