World of Warcraft Botting Crackdown

It looks like Blizzard has taken the ban hammer out and struck down as many botters as they could. Initial reports show that they did not use the usual Warden update but instead loaded some code in a recent patch to allow them to detect who was using bots and who was not.

Reading the message boards at the popular bot sites it looks like they figured out how they did it and promise to be more vigilant in future patches to look for this kind of sneakiness from Blizzard.

It does not look like this has affected most of our suppliers as we are still filling orders at a blazing rate of less than 1 hour for over 95% of the orders on GamerTex.com and its affiliates.
