Posted on September 21, 2008 by Mark JacobsWhy can't this guy work for Blizzard instead? The gold sellers in WoW are still as obnoxious as ever, even after Blizzard took steps to flood the game's economy with massive amounts of gold (via the plethora of daily quests and other means now available). My favourite bit of the post though?
I hate gold sellers/spammers. No, that's not strong enough, let me try again. I HATE GOLD SELLERS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. Ah, that's better.
Now, why do I hate them you may ask? I hate them for a number of reasons, most of which have been detailed in various interviews I've done over the years. And now that they have taken their obnoxiousness to new levels with gold service spamming, I HATE GOLD SPAMMERS EVEN MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.
I've been offered - a piece of the action - both personally and corporately in the past if I will either turn a blind eye or help them in their actions. This would have netted me and/or Mythic a very, very tidy sum, far more than we would see from box sales. My answer was and always will remain the same:Source by way of article on Kotaku.
Go to hell.

It's pretty easy to /ignore, but I'd be interested in how you report them. Is it just through the complaints section?

That's what I don't get - if you can find them so easily, why cant Blizzard?
Why can't they just grab a list of people who mention 'gold for $$$' or whatever and ban repeat offenders.
Surely its not that difficult to do.

update on their fight against gold sellers
Posted 07:44pm 26/9/08
but yeh, they can surely monitor for certain strings in messages. I just add them to ignore and appeal against them every single time. sometimes I even send them group invites repeatedly so they keep getting a popup on their screen over whatever interface they are using to do their spamming. I get the feeling I'm not gonna get in trouble myself for spamming a gold spammer.

And is in the middle of having it's servers merged due to low-populations. Never a good sign for an MMO!
