Blizzard has banned World Of Warcraft users for cheating

In an aggressive move to put a stop to cheating , Blizzard Entertainment has banned 18,000 accounts from its popular online multiplayer environment.

The accounts banned were due to users running third-party software in order to automate certain tasks like farming. Blizzard has said that this creates problems with the in-game economy and would affect the entire populace of World Of Warcraft.

Blizzard has also stated that it will continue to monitor problems of this kind in the future.
