Is it just me or does it seem like there is a large community of cheaters on PvP servers? Just curious...but it seems there are a great number of people that use a "speed hack" and/or a "radar hack" when playing on a PvP server.
I did some research to confirm the existence of these hacks and found that they are not at all fairy tales...and any person with a moderate level of ingenuity could reasonably make use of such "hacks". Am I the only one that notices that some people appear to be cheating?
How can you prove that people are cheating so that games like WoW are not ruined by exploitative behavior? Please throw in your copper on this one.

In a nutshell.
Report them to a GM, they follow the players around to see if they are displaying behaviour typically found with hack users, they get banned.
Well, tbh i noticed some strange moves in some WSG games, in a particular way the thing that when we go attack they take the path where no one is in our base... could be wrong tho, well if i find anyone suspetive ill report them immediatly.

Well...that should teach you to guard all entrances...rather than immediately suspecting a hack...
I saw something strange yesterday. I was guarding the flag with my hunter in WSG when a mage grabbed it and blinked to the tunnel. I slowed him and then ran up to wing clip him. I was swinging at him as well as my pet.
Without any casting animation he was suddenly gone. I figured he must have blinked, so I look down the tunnel and don't see him. I then try to follow my pet to him, but my pet is now following me.
I was thinking he must have fell under the world, but the next thing I know people in the middle of the map are chasing him.
It could have just been a bug or something, so I'm not going to call anyone a cheater.

In my previous post, I wasn't trying to say cheating doesn't happen...I witnessed a guy on a regular mount riding faster than me on my epic...I had a carrot AND a mount speed enchant at the time...
He is still on the server, but was removed from the guild (my former guild) after the guild GM caught the guy teaching guild members on vent how to speed hack...
I particularly liked yesterday, when a group of higher level alliance tried to grief my well organized group in Stormgarde, and they were horribly beaten down. Halfway through the fight, after several losses on their side, their mage literally ports out. I had it confirmed by an alliance friend on vent he was in an entirely different zone.
Not hearth mind you. A simple vanish while taking damage.

I've seen something like this when connections are laggy. Or at least that is what it seemed like. Is it just one person? Or is everyone on the map moving like that?
@Euro-Crash: How can you prove someone is cheating? Tough to prove it. If you observe enough behavior that is different from everyone else then you can suspect it, and report your suspicions to the GM.

<3 crappy gankers.
If you're queued into the battlegrounds and it pops up in the middle of fighting, you can click "enter" and it ports you into the instance...Just an FYI before you start spamming the report macro.
