Here's yet another cheating/farming post that I find interesting; from the WoW Forums:
Apparantly farmers are using maphacks to move from unreachable cliff to unreachable cliff in Ferales, loot the eggs, and then teleport to Tanaris to turn them in. Pretty damning stuff (video in the forum), although I couldn't get it to work.

Reason: Fixed link
A Blizzard employee by the name of Tyren gave a resposne. I wonder how long it will take for Blizzard to fix this. The Farmers are some of the worst to ruin the game, right before the gankers, and then people who buy from the farmers. If people would just go make their own gold instead of buying it from the farmers... Oh yeah, the people might actually have to play the game. God forbide that should happen.

It must be great fun to know that in a game where the sole purpose is to gradually build your wealth, skill, weapons, etc, through repetitive play and applied determination, you can simply bypass all that by cheating or buying your way to the top.

Sarcasm is my philosophy and skepticism my religion.
While the cheating sucks I think it really only affects the PvP realms as people can easily aquire all the uber gear. I don't think it's so bad in PvE enviroments. I play on RP servers and really haven't seen a problem. I don't think it affects the economy in a negative way. In fact, farming high end weapons will only flood the market with them and send the price down, imho.
That said, I certainly don't approve of these cheaters/farmers and hope Blizzard continues to find ways to remove them from the game.

I think Blizzard should sue Sony for deliberatly hampering their service. A lot like the one Battle.net wannabe (Forgot the name) where the users used faults in the game to manipulate it. Sony should be held responsible for this.

Sony shouldnt be responsible here. Blizzard should be, they run an manage this huge online game. It's their slow response time that is at fault here.
Maybe Blizzard needs to create an instant online patcher like Steam?

You mean fight monsters all day in a game built to be a timesink.
