Q u o t e:
This is BS,I can't make a living on Duskwood server anymore.You guys are are working on new content,and you can't even slow down these mining hackers?I don't think Blizz cares at all,hell it would only take 1 gm on every realm to sit in trade and ban the "susan Express" guys,but they won't.Don't tell me that would be impossible,do you know how many ppl they have working on hacked accounts? IMO they are selling the gold,it's just too easy to fix for Blizzard not to have a hand in it,sorry if I'm wrong.These mining hackers are destroying the economic side of the game,as well as the gold sellers.These are the people who hack accounts.I f we got rid of the gold sellers there would be no need for hacking accounts,or using cheats.Blizzard could spend less time getting rid of the sellers than they spend repairing hacked accounts.I have seen nothing done by Blizzard to remove gold sellers,it's so easy to do,sit in trade perma ban the gold seller advertisers,and give them no credit for their lost timecard.It would be too expensive to keep spending $15 to advertise once and lose the account.Until I see something saying different,I will believe Blizzard has a hand in the gold sellers.So to sum up,fix the old problems before you bring new content,and do something about the gold seller,and the buyers for that matter...5,000 gold for runecloth on the AH? c'mon.
Game masters handle a broad range of issues. It would take more than the entire staff of the game master department to monitor trade chat on every single realm 24 hours a day. It's quite clear this is a very inefficient way of doing things. It's very costly, requires too much man power, and ultimately wouldn't help to address the range of Terms of Use violations. Instead, we have great reporting systems and a hacks team dedicated to verifying exploits in the game via automated means to not only stop those who are doing it, but to help us develop methods for preventing the same types of exploits from recurring.
Granted, you may still come across people abusing the Terms of Use, however, I caution you not to use that as evidence that we're not constantly working through ways of stopping them, much less that we're complicit in the activities.

BS, you need to devote more time and money to protecting your customers. We feed you.
plz dont flake on us.
A great deal of time and money is devoted to protecting customers. Ultimately though customers must protect themselves. I'll relink what a player above pointed out regarding cheats, exploits, hacks, and gold selling: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html
An overwhelming majority of these activities take place on compromised accounts.
