Reader Reviews:


2/5 stars

Disappointing (1/1 people found this helpful)

The book goes over ideas of how to make game hacks when you have the addresses to all the data structures and what they are/do but doesn't cover how to find them (probably the most important part to game hacking).

It's disappointing that it feels like the authors have just compiled forum posts together and thrown it together into a book

2/5 stars

Excellent cure for insomnia (2/3 people found this helpful)

A very pedestrian trudge through the bowels of the sleazy side of World of Warcraft. The book contains little that has not been common knowledge in the MUD community for decades, and WoW players ever since the game started. The book's do it yourself farming bot - pages and page of C++ code - is only of any use to those who are already capable of writing one themselves.
