Blizzard Bans 100,000 Cheaters In Massive "World of Warcraft" Ban Spree

MojoKid writes: Like many MMORPGs, World of Warcraft can be a grind.

The only problem is, Activision Blizzard isn't so keen on this behavior and has dropped the ban hammer hard on gamers who've been using them. Activision Blizzard didn't specify exactly how many people it booted, saying only that it was a "large number of World of Warcraft accounts." However, a screenshot of a conversation between a player, Game Master, and Activision Blizzard employee suggests that over 100,000 World of Warcraft accounts were identified and booted.
