Blizard Sues Virtual Gold Seller

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the long-time-coming dept.

DaphneDiane writes "Blizzard announced that they are suing one of the heavily spamming gold sellers, Peons4hire. Peons4hire had recently been spamming players in World of Warcraft with multi-line messages advertising their power leveling and gold selling business. With the advent of the recently released 2.1.0 patch Blizzard made it easier to report and block these spammers. I've noticed a large decrease in spam while playing since the patch. It used to be that I would get nearly a dozen spams a night but I barely have seen any since."

    Way to chime in on something you know absolutely nothing about.

    The term "spam" has grown to encompass more than just email, bub. Two clues: 1. Welcome to 2007. 2. English is a dynamic language.

    Hell, here's a third one: 3. Yo momma ugly.

    Just a note that certain sites like wowmine.com and ign are reputable, at least in my experience of purchasing 3k gold over 3 different occasions. Got my gold quick, with no account loss or anything,
