By "normal ppl" i mean people that arent using scripts, hacks, etc... Things got worse with crossrealm PVP since many Blackrock players play now with us ICC and Lordareon players. Most of hackers, scripters etc... come from Blackrock probably because they dont have much to loose even if they get banned since they didint have to work that hard like Lord players or donate like ICC players for weapons, gear ... Even with that said there are some ICC players also using script/hack, cant say anything about Lord players cuz they dont play PVP that much. Even though i am skilled and almost full geared + have good arena partner as soon as we hit above 1700 mmr we stop there. WE keep getting teams mostly with warriors with auto stance change (for every occasion), ppl running with something that seems like "levitating nitro boots with lagg" then suddenly jumping in the sky and falling down in 0,5 secs. I also encountered shadow priest and hunter who killed me on my DK 1k ressi in frost presence within few seconds with stun-silence lock 00,1 seconds within each re-cast. I mean i know there are good and well played teams but no one is perfect and they were a little too much. The more time passes the more they seem to not even trying to hide what they are doing. For example yesterday while in arena skirmish there was a warrior with me toying with his speed hack while waiting for battle to begin, i mean really WTF. There are also some strange situations when some ppl do increased dmg like they are somehow buffed no matter how much ressilience or protections you have on yourself, you just get pwned by single DPS in seconds not to mention if there is two of them. Today i also encountered disc priest who just didnt take dmg and it was worse than attacking holy paladin with my unh DK. Worst of all is that he was toying with me and jumping around like he knew there is no way i am gonna kill him. Since i dont have any expirience with any type of cheats used in wow i dont even know is it possible for someone to be buffed using some advanced wow patches (like 3.3.5b) or idk what to think anymore.
I can say for sure that spending 10-15 mins at NPC and spectate few arena matches there is 100% proc crit chance that you will see someone hacking. Another strange thing happened today when i encountered my good friend in arena playing with prot warr who was insanely abusing some kind of speed and stance hack, he never noticed his partner hacking but in 3 games we played against them me and my partner both noticed it right away because he wasnt trying to hide it at all. That led me to conclusion that maybe it can be only seen by opponents or spectate at NPC because i know my friend long time and he is not lying, he was very happy finding that "great "partner and has his hopes to reach 1950 rating for helmet with him. I know, i know everyone is gonna say or think why you dont record why you dont report etc, but belive me i tried and i have some videos. The biggest problem is that i play on laptop and have low frame rates when i use some kind of recorder running with wow and in videos it can be easily misunderstood as lagg even though in game it looks much clearer than in video. And second thing i am not "hacker police" to go investigate hackers and report them with evidence. With current situation best thing i can do is to record my personal arena matches but at the cost of reduced frame rates. I urge you all to do the same because warmane staff seams be doing close to 0 on that matter. The only non hacking teams that can get trough 1800+ atm are BiS Warrs with H palas, mage-rogue-priest combos because their combinations are somewhat overpowered while playing together even against cheaters but for the rest of us its good luck and RIP or donate even for the helmet which was obtainable some time ago.
