Question
How can I cheat at Warcraft?
Answer
The Warden software has run afoul of controversy among some privacy advocates. Since Warden scans running processes other than the World of Warcraft game, and could possibly run across e-mail addresses, instant messenger IDs, and personally identifiable information, privacy advocates and others state that Warden behaves similarly to spyware. However, many World of Warcraft players note that only hashed strings are compared, and no personally identifiable information is transmitted back to Blizzard; moreover, all players consent, via the EULA and terms of use, to the Warden software performing these scans while World of Warcraft is running. Supporters of the Warden software claim that, instead of being spyware, Warden behaves more like anti-virus software, except that instead of detecting viruses, Warden detects third-party cheat programs, and thus helps to prevent cheating within the game.
