Blizzard Wields The Banhammer Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ouch-they've-got-crusader-on-it dept.

Eurogamer reports that Blizzard is once again clearing house, and this time they mean business. From the article: "Blizzard has banned more than 5400 World of Warcraft players from the game for good as part of plans to clamp down on gold farming and cheating in general. A further 10,700 accounts have been suspended for 'participating in activities that violate the game's Terms of Use, including using third-party programs to farm gold and items.'"

    Now if only they'd use the "Make the Servers Work" hammer.

      When all you have is a "Ban" Hammer, all problems look like a Gold Farmer.

    Hunter Weapon!

      OH MY GOD it is not just a hunter weapon you jerk because paladins can use +agil just as much because they need all the crit% that they can get! If I saw a hunter roll on a Banhammer I would be so pissed I would track him down and beat the crap out of him and also never group with him again and probably complain in the realm forums!

      Btw what is the drop rate because I have been farming this thing for 3 days and it still hasn't dropped!
