Jaina Proudmoore - Image 1Could this be a case of wrongful accusations or catching the criminals red-handed? Apparently, something suspicious occurred in the Akama server recently. WoWInsider reports that there were about a hundred Horde member that were suspended from playing World of Warcraft for three days due to farming Jaina Proudmoore in Theramore. Yes, that Jaina Proudmoore who was the protégé of Archmage Antonidas and the most powerful human sorceress around.

Now, there are always two sides of the story. And in this particular tidbit, many people are saying that the suspended Horde members did nothing wrong, what really happened was Jaina had a bug where she dropped 900 gold and re-spawned in two minutes. The suspended players mentioned that she only dropped 50-90 gold, but the re-spawn timer was accurate.

Anybody who knew what really happened here? Feel free to shed some light on this issue.

ok so im a wow newb (only been playing for a week or so now) so someone please explain this to me. you can get suspended or banned for collecting gold? isn't that basically the point of the game? i really dont understand how they can punish people for playing the game as it was made... if there was a bug it's blizzard's fault, not those 100 guys'.

They can suspend you if you find an exploit and continue to use it. Its one thing to ge the extra gold once, but to continue to use the exploit is basically cheating.
