Have not played wow since 2004. stand corrected. Apparently warden was inneffective from stopping glider. Blizz had to take em to court.
thanks for proving my point
Warden doesn't really stop anything. It just records, giving Blizzard information about what's running while WoW is running. At the heart of it, Punkbuster does the same thing. Granted, it does have a few things to autoban blatant, previously known cheats, it mostly just records activity and reports that activity to whatever game company. From that point the company bans suspicious activity. It's a system that does work, though it is rarely instant, and isn't very satisfactory to most people who want to see a cheater gone instantly.

You still dont get it... If punkbuster gets bypassed nothing gets reported. Nothing gets reported cheaters are free to do what they want.
Do you see any other major mmo's using an anti cheat program? wow? EQ2? LOTRO? can you guess why?
Actually, WoW does. It's called Warden http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warden_(software)
It works much the same as Punkbuster.
