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.'"

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