However, knowledge of it crossed to the mainstream thanks to software engineer Greg Hoglund who disassembled the code of The Warden and watched it in action to get a better idea of what it did.In its defence Blizzard said nothing was done with the information gathered by the anti-cheat software. And many players seem happy to have the software running if it cuts the amount of cheating in the game world.The watchdog program, called The Warden by Blizzard, has been known about among players for some time. It makes sure that players are not using cheat software which can, for example, automatically play the game and build up a character's qualities. You can buy cheap wow gold here !
