i understand that but i still want to talk to a gm so if everyone would kindly stop posting the same thing moreless *spamming* my thread id muchly appreciate it :)


I'm not certain what you would need to speak with a Game Master about, Spartan. The folks who have posted thus far and told you to forward the e-mail to our Hacks department have provided you with the correct information. If you spoke with a Game Master in game they would also give you the same information.

I would add though a link to our stickied thread on Fake/Phishing e-mails. That link contains advice on how to spot phishing e-mails by looking at the source header as well as how to determine if a link in the e-mail goes where it says it does. There are also examples of some of the more common phishing e-mails that we have seen.

I would also like to draw attention to in-game whisper phishing attempts as well. More information on these can be found in the following Support Article.

More information on this and how you can recognize a Blizzard employee can be found in the following support article.

I understand your concern for your fellow players, Spartan, though there is little that our In-Game Support staff will be able to do regarding external e-mails, our Hacks team will do what they can though, thank you.

This is a bit OT, but I thought they were gms, just with more limited in game power. Did this change?


Not technically, Vyaeraa, we work with In-game Support and are basically part of them. We have many of the same abilities that GM's do, though we are generally unable to assist with in-game issues directly. :)

Our purpose can be found in the first third in this forum.
