eSko: Hi Shorty. Could you introduce yourself to our readers? Shorty: I am Shorty, leader of the RAoV team (Random Acts of Violation). My team and I have one purpose, to exploit one of the greatest MMOs, World of Warcraft. eSko: Yeah, you are the best WoW exploit team for some time now. Can you tell us something about the RAoV? How long do you exist? How many members do you have? Shorty: Back in early patch 3.3.5, exploit became something of a hobby for me. So I decided to make a team of some of the most known exploiters, to help me reach some goals I had. We turned out to be very successful, and we reached every goal we went for. For 2 years we have been searching for exploits and yet we still continue. We started out with at least 10 members, then after some discussion and hard choices to make, we reduced the team to 4. eSko: Are all of you from the US? How did you find other exploiters? Did you contact them via YouTube or something? Shorty: Not all of us are from the US, we had a members from Germany, Denmark, and Canada. I did contact them from youtube, after tracking down some of the greatest exploiters I hand picked the ones I saw fit for my team. eSko: Awesome... You did a great job apparently. Let's move fast forward. I know that your accounts got banned some time around Cataclysm. How did it happen and what was your motivation to start from scratch and continue with exploiting? Shorty: We where banned after releasing "How to bypass No-Mans Land" exploit. I am sure blizzard had all of our characters marked down for ban before Cata was released, but that exploit hurt the economy in game. We where bashed pretty hard when we found out we where banned. Yes we made many attempts to revive our accounts but no luck. In fact we had a interesting conversation with one of the GM's. He told us that there was a team that was specificly keeping track of our exploits and you tube channels. They did mention we where banned because of what we released on youtube. After a long time of talking with the team, we decided to start from scratch and help each other out to reach 85, which we did within a week. Once we where back up to the top, we experienced the game all over again and came up with some really cool exploits along the way. We where well prepared and ready to start exploits, after two months we had enough exploits to make a 30 min movie which we where aiming for. Everything turned out as a success. eSko: Do you know how did they get to know what accounts you were playing on? You did not blur your names in the movies or something? Shorty: In our past videos we never blurred our names out because we assumed that anyone could rename their characters and change their models to get some one else banned. We figured they did not have the right to ban us. After Cataclysm was released they changed their ToS and then they had the right to ban us. eSko: Ouch... There was a short Rift era of RAoV. I guess you've moved back to WoW because of the small amount of Rift players. What do you rate as your greatest success in the short history of Rift exploiting? Shorty: Some things I cannot discuss about, all that I can say is most of our exploits are GM related and we still are working on them as the game developes through patches. We might release what we have once we are ready to make some sort of profit from it. eSko: Haha too bad there are no GM-related exploits for WoW. I guess it is much better secured after those years of development. What do you rate as your biggest success as a team in the WoW exploiting? You have many exploits to choose from indeed... And what is your favorite exploit of all time (if it differs from the biggest-success one)? Shorty: Well there is one that I can say I am proud of, but the credit goes to our scripter, which I am not allowed to name. He found a way to use GM spells, and simply become a GM. This was fixed faster then any exploit and it was never released to the public. My all time favorite was the Ressurection in Battleground exploit. That has got to be the funniest thing I have ever done. I do some what regret releasing it to the public, we could have made a big profit off of that one. All though it was just a matter of time before some one else found it. eSko: I totally agree on that one.. The instant ress in battleground was pretty OP. Are you going to release any new movie soon? Or at least a trailer with all cool things we can look forward? Shorty: Yes, we are in fact working on a new movie. We do not have a ETA on when it will be released but we can indeed say our exploits have gone gold and are ready to be released. eSko: That's just great. Althought I don't play WoW anymore, I still can't wait to see it. I know that you also like the Diablo universe. As we expect Diablo 3 to be released later this year, the question suggests itself. Are you going to exploit Diablo 3? From what we have seen, the multiplayer will be implemented much wider than in previous Diablo, so there will certainly be use for some exploits. Shorty: Well exploiting is not as easy as it looks. Although I do understand a concept of exploiting, it takes a long time for one to really understand how a game works. That all depends on whether my team will be up for it. I am sure many people would like to see some one getting around those rough edges, and if the multiplayer is as big as when Diablo II came out, there might be a chance RAoV will be working on a new movie for Diablo. eSko: That's what I wanted to hear. Thank you very much for this awesome interview. Are there any last words you want to share with our readers? Shorty: Thank you for having me in this interview. I hope everyone has a better insight on RAoV and the world of exploiters =) eSko: Thank you once again and have a nice day Shorty.
