Rampant gold farmers = gold inflation and ridiculously cheap prices. People would be WAY less inclined if gold wasn't dirt cheap.

...Meanwhile the gold spam continues

You're right, the spam is gone and we're all saved. God bless.

Oh I agree man. Botters, sellers and hackers need to get shut down. I was just responding to cat's suggestion to stop it.

Yes I responded to your post. That's how forums work, don't take it so personally. You do understand that it doesn't work? There is still relentless spam despite their keyword list. They've already tried "your idea" and it hasn't accomplished anything. Which is why we need new measures, which brings us back to the very point of this thread. Glad you're caught up.

You didn't address anything. You claimed that they should claim a list of "keywords" to stop spam which they obviously already do. There is a problem with simple keywords and regular expressions, in that there is a million and a half different ways to use ascii to circumvent them. All you seem to do is misrepresent people's arguments. I thought we were talking about VPNs and gold sellers?

First off, what makes you a special snowflake that deserves more attention than other posters with your obnoxious font coloring? Are you trying to deny that banning a critical tool used by spammers, sellers, and cheaters would have a positive outcome on the server as a whole? Nice strawman. No one is claiming it will completely eradicate the gold market, just that it will effectively cripple it and the annoyances that are plaguing the server. The chat spam, whispers, guild invites and channel invites are incessant and probably just the beginning.

Protip: Comic Sans is scientifically proven to make people hate you. But good luck with the stream :D

Dead even so far, love it!

Yes of course, 2 years isn't nearly enough time to master the complex enigma that is World of Warcraft.

That's what life tap is for :)

Well there's about 2650~ horde online at this moment - most of which are under 60 so you shouldn't have any problems finding groups.

With weekly raid resets it does take a long time to fully fear up a guild. I feel that some of you are underestimating the difficulty and gear requirements of the later raids. There were many serious raiding guilds that farmed through the entirety of retail vanilla, and yet all of them struggled to progress through Naxx. Please don't give me the argument that people "didn't know how to play".

Paladins excel in single target healing, so you'd typically be focused on tanks or high risk targets most of the time.
