Submission + - Are they really "making waves"? (warcraftrealms.com)
FoxNSox writes: "As an article from the 26th of May mentioned, Blizzard has announced they are "suing one of the heavily spamming gold sellers, Peons4hire". This came as a result of a post on the World of Warcraft Forums, which outlined Blizzards reasons for this federal lawsuit.
A subsequent post on the same thread reads:
"Our efforts to combat this type abuse will be ongoing, I assure you. Also, keep in mind that Peons4hire was one of the larger organizations focused on in-game spam abuse. Do not underestimate the value of the message this action will send to to others who participate in similar abuse.
In short, we're making waves. :P".
Well, my answer to this (as a frequent WoW player), is that Blizzard does not seem to be "making waves", as they so mention.
Although Peons4Hire has seemed to 'cease and desist' sending spam messages and mail to World of Warcraft players, the volume of spam messages from other 'Gold Sellers' and 'Power Levellers' does not seem to have been hindered.
What is your opinion on this? Are there any other games out there that have a similar issue with spammers?"
