What country are the gold spammers from?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I would like to know what country the gold spammers are from?

Can anything be done to block the IP addresses from that country or countries?

Thank you!

I think they are from different countries. This is internet, everybody can sell it. Developers cannot block entire country because of one cheater.

Even if they were using their own unique IP address (if they were that stupid) it would not be very efficient to block them manually by address.

There's a pretty big chance OP is just trolling with the ridiculous logic of blocking an entire country because of a few gold farmers from there.

If he is really trolling I am glad. Because from my experience in the "world of internet" I seem not to find many people who realize what is really going on here :)

There is no guarantee that he is since he might just be a complete moron.

Not knowing how things work does not make you a moron. He asked to get smarter and discover how thing work maybe? Moron would write: Block <some country> cause they are spammers.

I'm not trolling. I'm asking a simple question that you are unable or unwilling to answer but you decided to troll my question anyways.

There is nothing ridiculous about blocking an entire country. Sometimes harsh measures need to be taken to preserve the integrity of the play experience for the majority of the people who are not violating the rules.

It's impossible to tell without engaging in conversation with them.

The whispers I get don't say which country they are from and even if the website promoted is supposed to be based in one country, it doesn't mean the people who do the farming/boting are from that country or the people doing the spamming are from that country.

Are you saying you really do not see the problem this? Not to mention it would be completely ineffective from a technical standpoint.

Gold sellers are from all over the world.

Not suggesting that you are not doing a good job (which you did), but where is Pottu? Did he resign?

LOL, are you suggesting to block all IPs from that entire country? If that is the case, have you considered the possibility that some of these gold seller might be from your country? Or you are just so sure that people in your country would not do anything bad?
