/Random algorythm cracked. Highroller addon..

from MMO-Champion
Highroller, Arena tournament, Blue posts


A few days ago, someone managed to decode the algorythm behind /random calculations, it didn't take long to exploit it and release an addon to get very high /random 100 everytime : Highroller. This AddOn uses an advanced algorithm to time your roll requests to the server in order to increase your average roll value.

Note that the addon is rather large due to the advanced algorithm. It must take into account things such as Name, Race, Class, guild name, and position.

Addon page
WoWInterface Downloads : Miscellaneous : HighRoller

GG Blizzard. Good luck creating a whole new /random system.

You guys are doing it wrong. You're supposed to feign outrage for at least a few posts in hopes of more responses.

I'd guess Blizzard will have to react fast to this addon. Pickup groups will likely experience big troubles from it. I wonder when the hotfix will be out.

An even better reason to switch to the "speed before need" system of loot allocation.

I can't believe the community here would use such an addon. Might as well install that bot program people use for AV.

Good game, elitist jerks! :P

This addon will definitely make a pretty big difference until everybody downloads it. As to whether it's bannable or not, you know the rules and so do I.

Yeah, this just sucks. My buddies and I all downloaded this and then ran heroic Mgt. It took us 40 minutes just to roll on shards at the end of the run because all the tie-breaker rolls end in ties too >.<

Flex your e-peen elsewhere. This is a fun and innocent April Fool's joke and you've gone out of your way to ruin it for many people. Thanks.

Malan exists to crush the hope and joy of others, much like how baby squirrels are frequently run over on freeways.

Ack, actually believed it while reading wowace comments, since I thought it very very unlikely that 50 people, with some having into the thousands of forum posts (not specifically made alts) all confirmed it.

And now it's a fake. Or not.

ARGHH.

*goes off to download it, even though it is strictly against his principles to cheat videogames*

I can't believe someone managed to make an argument out of this thread.
