Ok! I`m playing on this server for some time now. Since i`m playing i`m constantly getting spammed from gold sellers. At first i was ignorant and amused. But after i saw the annoucements about banning account due to buying gold i`ve started to be annoyed. Annoyed , by what ? You might ask. Well, you clearly are against gold selling and buying hence you ban accounts who actually use those third party websites. In 1 hour of playing i receive aproximatelly 6-7 whispers from, if not the same, different lvl 10 characters with the same message "WWW.Y2LGOLD.COM>>>100g=8$/fast to 60lvl.....etc" . And this is only me, there are alot of people getting spammed and maybe , if not for sure, are reporting them. I haven`t reported any of the names till now because i find it to be redundant . Instead i have made a ticket in-game asking why aren't taken serious measures about this problem. This is the conversation i`ve had with one of the GM's :
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Greetings, did you report anyone that was able to report back?
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Hello!
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Report back to whom? Anyway , i`m receiving daily , in a hour, about 5-6 whispers from different lvl 10 characters with same announcement about the gold selling website.
To <GM>[Snogumz]: And i know for sure your staff don`t encourage gold selling or buying, hence the recent bans.
To <GM>[Snogumz]: And to answer properly your question : No, i have not reported any of the names that are spamming.
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Well, you can simply make a ticket to report them.
To <GM>[Snogumz]: But i bet i`m not the only one getting them, even you if you make a normal character and wait 15 mins will get a message *from them* for sure.
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: You bet and i bet and we all bet.
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Everyone reports. You can report in order for us to take action or download an addon called spam throttle or something like that
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Ah, i see. I`m talking about a serious problem and i`m not beeing taken seriously.
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Ok, now you`ve made it personal
To <GM>[Snogumz]: I WILL report every time and every name of the one who is spamming me
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Bingo!
To <GM>[Snogumz]: And going to make screenshots about our conversation also and screenshots about me doing the reports
To <GM>[Snogumz]: We wil talk again in two weeks notice
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Great!
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Just to say to you this: Ok, i`ve reported, what now? I`m still getting spammed!
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Cya in two weeks and thanks for your...time, i guess
<GM>[Snogumz] whispers: Have a good day.
To <GM>[Snogumz]: Like wise
2 secs later , the spammer (Character name Laniasd ) whispers me again after he already whispered me 3 times the moment i`ve made the ticket.
I have screenshots if necesary but i don`t think it will be. My question is : Are gold farmers allowed to spam people in-game ? If not , why are not banned? It`s easy to ban their IP or class of IP since they are probably doing the spam from China (The website is registered there). Am i wrong and juvenile because i write about this stuff and because i take it seriously ? I think not, since there are real money involved. Money that some people are willing to pay the gold farmers and to be banned by other people who are *probably* letting the gold farmers do their job for interest.
Thank you !
