I'd roll with it, although I'm not sure I'd drag a whole guild into the drama... guild wide bans FTL

[Oatboat]

thats my server.. been alot of lawls in the trade about it.

depends on if i would get banned for using it or not....

One thing that doesn't jive is that the article states (and I read in another article, also) that he claims to have gotten this item from his mailbox.

However, I found a thread about him here that adds a few more details. There's also his WowWiki profile that gives more info.

From all of this there's a few things that stick out:
His guildmate claims he received this item to "make up" for not having received an item from a ticket he had opened weeks before.
His first aid is at 900. It would seem like a GM took more interest in his account than simply passing him this item or emailing it on accident.

I think this is why the threads about him have been deleted, because this could be a real case of a GM doing something wrong on purpose.

Armory of him now shows that they've removed all his ulduar achievements except normal difficulty 'shutdown'. Also he doesn't have gear in some slots - I suspect items earned via this exploit were removed from his toon too.

As much fun as this item would be, I would report it if I got it, not use it. It's the same as if your bank makes an error and deposits a million dollars in your account: if you go out and spend it you're an idiot, because sooner or later they'll realize their mistake and you ARE criminally liable if you spent any of the money received in error. There are recent occurrences of this in my local news, a woman received $150k by accident in her account and spent $30k of it before the bank caught up to her, now she's in jail for it.

LOL 1st rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club, 2nd rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club. I woulda kept my mouth shut and enjoyed it for a very long time or until it was taken away. Loose lips sink ships. Now the whole guild is banned.

Hrmm.. tough one.. what would I do? Probably go test it on Doomwalker just to see if it actually worked.... then open a ticket. After reading what's there, I'm inclined to believe this guy is a Blizz employee and made the poor decision to abuse his power.

I get the feeilng this was more than an accident.
I wonder what perks the GM got in return.

I'd like to think I'd do the right thing, but even knowing my account would get banned I'd still prolly charge into orgrimmar and start pewpewing
