How dumb is the client really?

And yes, I am aware that Blizz would most likely not tolerate such an addon.

There's a video floating around at the moment showing such a third-party app (not an addon). It features a hunter demonstrating the use of a teleport-hack program to solo kill King Gorduk and Tendris Warpwood in Dire Maul.

Hopefully the publication of a video demonstrating the exploit will make Blizzard get their finger out and fix it. If their server code depends that strongly on the client being able to control a character's position, then they're a bunch of incompetent idiots. And I'm sure they're not. There is no excuse for implicitly trusting the client's opinion of where you are, especially when it seems to have such little regard for z-axis movement.
You don't know what you're talking about.
