If you want to run a gold dupe hack or a god mode hack on WoW, then you need to watch out for the Warden. The Warden is Blizzard's cheat detector for World of Warcraft. It is constantly lurking in the background and the minute you log onto WoW it will check to see if you are running any programs or hacks that you shouldn't be running.

Countermeasures against The Warden are combated by constant switching out of its current version on the server.

Are you willing to take the risk and have your account banned for hacks that normally don't even work the way they are supposed to?

For World of Warcraft Mods that you can use legally within the game, check out my WoW Mods Guide.

God Mode Hacks for World of Warcraft are designed to make your character undefeatable. You'll see a number of guides online that purport to show you how to implement this hack. There's only one little catch. They only work on private servers and they only work if the guy who runs the private server likes you and deems you worthy of God mode. Somehow they fail to mention this when they show off how awesome God Mode is.

Now maybe you think the idea of playing on a private server instead of Blizzard's servers is awesome, but personally I can't deal with the high latency or having to suck up to server owners. Ugh. At any rate, save your money on the God Mode hack if you only ever play on Blizzard servers because you're just throwing your money away.

I'm pretty sure the Gold dupe hack for World of Warcraft doesn't exist either. Anyone offering to send you the gold dupe hack is actually sending you a keylogger.

A keylogger is basically a trojan or virus that captures the information your keying and transmits it to someone else. This is how World of Warcraft scammers steal accounts and gold from WoW Players.

The easiest players to dupe and steal from are greedy ones. So when you think about it, the Gold dupe hack is perfectly named -- because the Dupe is the player who downloads one.

Be careful to avoid downloading any so-called "gold dupe hacks" on torrent networks. I can just about guarantee that you'll be downloading a virus of some kind.

There are easier ways of getting more gold into your account. There are several different WoW gold guides available that explain all the shortcuts and the best strategies to use to get gold faster and none of them involved cheating, hacks or bots of any kind.

In a way, I guess this is just another name for a God Mode type hack since theoretically, you can change your stats to whatever you want. Problem is -- it doesn't work. It is just a flat-out scam.

The people who actually program hacks will tell you that it can't be done because the values for the stats are server side. Anyone telling you otherwise is a flat-out scammer.

You can read more about why a stat changer isn't a legit hack in my WoW Stat Changer hub. I go into much more detail.
