It looks at your health mana energy etc. It moves the mouse around and pushes keys on the keyboard. You tell it about your character where you want to kill things and what to kill. Then it kills for you automatically. You can do something else like eat dinner or go to a movie and when you return you'll have a lot more experience and loot." it is an automated robotic pla<x>yer like so blizzard has all reason to be worried since for that reason it is a cheater. "Blizzard has said the tool infringes copyright because it copies the game into RAM in order to avoid detection by anti-cheat software." simple in the next update patch blizzard adds code to scan the ram ( yes scanning ram may possibly raise alarms by anti virus software) then trick the users into to updating by either adding that version to the banned versions on the server or saying that it fixes a security flaw that can allow hackers to gain access to your pc through the online game server. “Glider works a lot like a regular player.

Fugging 'infringing on copyright' crap that's so damn vague you could be describing anything and you'd be infringing!
