The gravity defying gold sellers

I'm sure many of you have seen the constant group of level ones that somehow, form words in the air, example, the name of their gold site. Any idea how the heck they do it? If you have not seen it...a group of about 50 level 1's come in to Org and form adds for gold sites....with their bodies...10 feet in the air. The do this in perfect sync...instantly all moving at once and forming the words at once. How can Blizzard not detect 50 (at least) toons constantly hacking Orgramar? The fact that they are gold sellers has to make it worse.
I would applaud their effort ...if these were not the same scumbags that sell gold...and phish accounts.
Below is youtube vid (there are many). This one is not great...currently, they use about 2-3 times the L1s and form very complex patterns.

Technically speaking, Gorpse, they are not "hacking", they are using mechanics that are within the game to do what they are doing. They technically would be considered to be exploiting.

As Eilethalua suggested, please submit an in-game petition including either of those key phrases. We have Game Masters on the look out for this type of petition and will be along as quickly as possible to take care of them. Just give a general area that this is occurring (i.e. Orgrimmar Bank, Ironforge Auction House, etc...).

Our Developers are aware of the current method of advertising and they are working to address it on a much broader scale. Unfortunately this takes a bit of time, since these actions are using in-game mechanics they must avoid negatively impacting other systems that rely on those mechanics, such as walking.

I am sorry for what inconvenience these advertisements cause, Gorpse, we like them less than you do and are working to rid ourselves of the latest advertising campaign as quickly as possible.
