Hello, just a few minutes ago I had a bunch of floating lvl 1 orcs outside the guild bank they were floating in the air spelling out what I'm assuming is a gold seller site and then they'd fly around a bit and do it in different places around the city. I have wrote a ticket and got as many names down as I could before they disapeared. I don't know if they just logged off or if a gm banned them all. But anyway I'm mostly just wondering if other people on other servers other than my own are experiencing this, I just started seeing this yesterday.

This is the character i wrote the ticket on.

Edit*: There also needs to be more room in tickets, how many characters can you type in a ticket anyway?

This is not necessarily new. It is simply a new method to do something that was originally blocked by our Developers.

Our Developers continue to work on preventing this current form of advertisement but any progress will take some time to implement as this method uses mechanics within the game. It is important to stop their ability without negatively impacting legitimate players.

As Spuddirt indicated you do not need to list the character involved simply submit an in-game petition, use the phrase "body spam" or "body advertisement" and include the general location (i.e. Outside Orgrimmar Bank).

We have members of the In-Game Support department that are keeping a look out for such petitions and will get to them as quickly as possible.
