/sleep spam

This is getting out of hand.

I have screenshots of actual exploits in the game being used by spammers to make a whole group of 30 people literally stack, vertically, before spamming /sleep to spell out a website name..

I've reported 60+ toons now all of which were deleted within 2 minutes, but 20 minutes later, another group runs in and does the same thing.

This is alliance side on Akama. I don't mind reporting them for spamming, but the confirmation dialog has got to go, along with whatever exploit that their botting program is taking advantage of that lets the guys float in mid-air.

Q u o t e:
My complaint wasnt that they do it, it was that I've reported 60 toons with the report spam thing and then 20 minutes later more were there, and the fact that they are using an actual exploit to make the toons line up a certain way in mid-air (thus drawing attention to them), before doing /sleep to spam the site name.

Right you are, Nalimar! There were more there shortly after you reported the incident. The reason being is that we dismissed the original reported characters as quickly as we could. Please understand that these sorts of actions are highly disruptive and something we are determined to remove from the game. While we are working on a developmental change that will halt these activities our Game Masters are dedicated to cleaning up the streets of your Capital Cities, so please be sure to report them via the In-Game Petition system. :0)
