Really Blizzard? These bots have been around for months now and I still have yet to see them get removed from game and have accounts closed.. What is this Diablo2 all over again? Their ability to float alone requires a 3rd party program that I am sure is against the ToS. So can I conclude from this that there are no longer GM's monitoring servers anymore?

PS. I love being spammed with

Q u o t e:
You think I would be posting here if I hadn't tried that? You honestly think other people haven't?
Yet they still exist....and every day EVERY day you see them.

I see no such petitions ever being submitted from a character on the account that you are currently posting from, Hightech. Perhaps, just like you, everyone else assumes that someone else will report it. I can understand how one might get upset about a particular occurrence if they assumed it was something we were and simply chose not to assist in the situation. I assure you an in-game petition will get the issue looked into fairly quickly, as we have a set group of Game Masters that look into such situations and deal with the offenders swiftly.

As for the long term: there are adjustments, some minor and some fairly large, that we are constantly being implementing to thwart different tactics of advertisement. But with us cracking down in different methods, every turn of the way, they must come up with more elaborate ways to get their advertisements seen. A Game Master being needed to remove these floating ads is only a temporary solution while we work towards getting a permanent solution implemented. :0)
