Fenris Org hackers

There's a group of some 20 or so Orc in Orgrimmar on Fenris. They fly through the air, spam emotes, etc to spell out various advertisements. It's been going on for a couple weeks now, so I know Blizzard is aware of it. Also, such things have happened before. Since nothing is being done about it, can we assume that nothing will be? I could care less about them until I get a couple dozen emotes all at once, erasing my visible chat log.

Q u o t e:
Problem persists. 2nd time bringing it up here and filled out 2 ingame tickets. I keep getting that it will be looked into, but it's been going on for weeks.

I would like to point out that the characters you are seeing now are not the same ones that you saw two weeks ago, Fraoestank, or even the same characters you reported earlier today. Until recently we asked that players report these actions to our Game Master department using the keywords “body spam” “body advertisement.” The Game Master staff would then investigate the situation and issue account actions in accordance to our policies.

This was a temporary resolve while our development works on a way to, yet again, thwart the efforts of these advertisements. I am pleased to say that, while our development team is still working on a more permanent solution, we have a quicker way to issue these account actions that does not require the players to create a report.

This is only the next step in dealing with these miscreants and another effort we have made to clean up the streets of your capitol cities. :0)
