WAR booting gold sellers 'like crazy'

Posted on Tuesday, 23 September 2008 by daffeh, source: Wordpress blog

Mythic Entertainment's CEO Mark Jacobs dedicated his first new blog post since the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning to gold sellers. Great, if the blogs don't go about piracy they sure aren't far off with gold sellers.
The tone of the post is immediately set:

I hate gold sellers/spammers. No, that’s not strong enough, let me try again. I HATE GOLD SELLERS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. Ah, that’s better. Now, why do I hate them you may ask? I hate them for a number of reasons, most of which have been detailed in various interviews I’ve done over the years. And now that they have taken their obnoxiousness to new levels with gold service spamming, I HATE GOLD SPAMMERS EVEN MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.

Further down he explains that they have a zero tolerance thing going on there which resulted in 400 bans within the first 48 hours of the game's life. Instead of doing regular mass bans, they have a dedicated team that does nothing else than hunting down gold sellers and booting their illegal asses immediately, no exceptions, no mercy. Also, when a player gets banned it is done medieval style, a public message humiliating the given player and sending a strong message to the surrounding crowd.

As great as it is, those public messages have gotten me killed. The little window popping up, that has to be clicked to close it, has kepted me from targeting enemies in rvr resulting in a death. But it's so worth it! The best was the one they sent out saying the first 100 had been banned.

I've been messaged by 4 different spammer characters so far. The game's been out less than a week people! I really hope they find a more perminant solution, I stopped playing WoW before this kind of crap started, and don't want it to ruin my WAAAGH!
