Q u o t e:
Does Blizzard even do anything to these idiots when we report them?
Absolutely, Fekth. Individually this behavior is mostly just juvenile, however as with all types of Lemming behavior this can quickly become a troublesome issue.
As the others have stated please feel free to report the individuals doing this by using the Report Spam feature. I'd also encourage the others on your realm to use this tool as well, the most people who use the reporting feature the faster such behavior can be dealt with. It will not only ignore the account for the duration of your play session but it will also report the behavior to a special queue.
The Report Spam feature was implemented as a quick way of addressing illicit advertisements such as gold and powerleveling spam but it should also be used for regular player spam as well as the Body Part {ability} spam.
Q u o t e:
Edit: Noting that this is what was told to me by a GM when I got fed up and reported a handful of the spammers from my server.
I am sorry for whatever confusion was caused, Coresala. Though you are welcome to report spam via an in-game petition, especially for those who seem to do it persistently, we do encourage the Report Spam feature to be used in these cases.
