Gold Spammers of Stormwind

Hey, yo, what do you know?
These here gold spammers have got to go!

They start their spam up in the sky
A million of them have figured out how to fly!
What you really ought to do is just make 'em die.

They've made us all mad
But with your swift wing of the banhammer I will soon be glad

They harass the gnomes and humans in my city
It's turned into such a pity
They just think they are wity
I think it's time we just get gritty

And kick 'em int he babymaker!

GM Response:

Greetings!

Thank you for taking the time to contact us! I apologize for the wait and not being able to talk to you. Don't worry, I have some information for you! =)

I am really sorry to hear about this behavior happening.

*clears throat*

Yo gold spammers, I hear you have been bothering my homies!
Me and Varian Wrynn are tight and you definitely don't want to start a fight!
Acting a fool like Superman flying in the sky, how about I just make you all die!

Grinning with passion to revoke your attempts to cause pity, my wits surpass yours with a WHACK to your stupidity!

Look at you now, deep in the ground. Can't fly now!
Try to mess with us now!!
6 feet deep and full of sorrow
Get out of my game, this is MY HOUSE NOW!

Can I get a wut wut uuuhhh!!

*drops mic*

Q u o t e:
I want to thank the OP for opening a ticket and clog even more the already overloaded system.

/Thank you

How do you expect these types of issues to be resolved if they are not reported to us, Felfoe? The OP decided to make their petition a bit more fun and lighthearted than most, something that most Game Masters tend to appreciate. There was nothing wrong with the petition that they submitted.

Q u o t e:

Meh, it was a fun response to a fun ticket.

But yah.
I'm really frustrated by blizzards lack of actions against them to.

Can't say how frustrating it is to be farming gold and to get messages saying my hours of farming are worth crap.

We mark any petitions that we see regarding this sort of spam as high priority, Piplap, and remove the accounts involved from the game as quickly as possible. This particular rendition or advertisement is a response to our development staff shutting down their last way of spamming everyone . . . and the one before that.... and the one before that. We are constantly looking to implement new methods in which we thwart their efforts. Until we are able to implement a change in the game, though, we have to manually go in, every time we receive a report, and take care of the “body art”.
