Robots to invade World of Warcraft?
Is that orc fighting next to you really a human player or just a robot?
Two hacktivists at DEFCON last week revealed details of a new type of automated World of Warcraft character that can level itself without human control.
The computerised characters can cast spells, fight, select targets, move and even communicate autonomously. GamesBeat reports that James Luedke and Christopher Mooney demonstrated characters they call 'helpers' - but that almost everyone else calls 'robots - can slog through the dull work of grinding new characters up levels automatically.
