A question about bugs

Is it illegal to look at bug sites? Does Blizzard have any sort of code that can track if I am reading an exploit and dupe site for World of Warcraft out of personal curiousity? I do not plan on cheating any, I just came across <linkremoved> with some WoW exploits and clicked it just to see what was on the other side.

Do not link to exploit sites on GameBanshee.

Looking at exploits are per se not illegal and Blizzard has no way of tracking if you visit them, however, the usage of exploits are not only illegal in regards of the game but also incredible immoral because you are affecting a gameworld filled with people who want a clean game.
Similarity - It is like using drugs on enhance your performance in sports, even if you win, you didn't earn it.

I never understand people who wish to cheat in online-games. Why pay to play a game only to help bring it down and destroy it, and I do infact hope a permanent ban hits all who cheats.

Too look at sites where exploits are listed is in no way illigal. Blizzard cannot do anything against it. If you use the exploits that another issue. I find that from time to time I look up expoits to see what kind of crazy stuff people have come up with. It might also be a good idea to look up exploits so that you can report them if you see them.
