Dear Mr. Blatant Hacker,

If you want you dagger so badly, just hack yourself one.
Instead of, oh I don't know...
Stacking on me after 30 minutes of waiting for Ra'sha, and then somehow taking the tag from me after I get him down to 50%, and then after killing him (In one shot I may add), killing me (again, in one shot) while I was unflagged, and then proceeding to curse me off in whispers CROSS FACTION, THROUGH AN IGNORE.
Best part?
When I try to report player "No such player exists".

Oh wow. Did you take a screen shot of the whispers at least? It might help if you try to open a ticket about him or whatever.
We've actually come across so many hackers with the Warbringers. We tag and we're alone. Dk shows up and somehow gets our tag when Its at 80%. He's still around so I don't think my reporting did any good but eh.

RETRIBUTION!
Got a response from my ticket; the character is not found in the database, but there are records, and past tickets made against him.
Also, according to the GM, the dagger did drop, and he was nice enough to give it to me, since according to some loot/drop things, I technically should have had it since the tag was originally mine. Also, he noted that the attack used on me, that oneshot me, was http://www.wowhead.com/spell=132256
Yes.
A hacker that can use the abilities of a RAID BOSS' ENRAGE.
That's scary. D:

Well, that's not the first time that we've had hackers using boss or GM abilities. Remember the piles of skellies in the major cities somemonths ago? They were using a GM ability.

Have to wonder how much else hackers are capable of that we usually don't see because they are just sucking down ore and herbs.

Well, I'm pleased that you got the issue resolved, but it is odd to think that hackers can do that. I have also heard of this happening with the Warbringers; people having their tags stolen by griefers, and I have seen a group of them attempting to do just that to a group who were already killing it by trying to pull it away, but others to whom it has actually happened are unsure of how or why. It is re-assuring to know that the GMs can sort out tag-stealing, and that hackers can at least be successfully reported for that.
