Anyone else get this, or anything like it?

[dreamofwrx]

yeah i had that the other night, not that specific one, but somehting similar about relationships....

[Ammon]

Heh , wonder if the Spamsentry mod from Curse-gaming would miss that one lol.

[PTiger]

My dad forwards me crap like that all the time via email. If I have to listen to that new-age emo BS in game too I might have to hurt someone.

[SLUGFly]

lol, roll pvp :grin:

[Sacroth]

I look forward to the day I'll find a gold-ad in a fortune cookie.

Do the gold-sellers do this to everyone? They must be using /who? I always wondered...Once I was invited into a raid, and when I joined I got spammed with ads. I had never seen /whisper ads before, but once that happened, I get them several times a day now. I always add to my ignore list, but last night I got one from someone on the list??? I went to ignore him and it said "XXX has been removed from your ignore list" meaning he was already there.

I was always very paranoid about doing anything about this. My worst fear is that Blizzard skews my story and accuses me of buying gold. Since I am a GM, there is alot at stake if I run into such trouble. I have never bought or sold gold, so I know there is no evidence against me, but I just like to not be even remotely associated with it, especially when I hear stories about people being banned for just having too much gold on their accounts.

[Your Average WoW Player]

/whisper ads piss me off because it's just some stupid bot. But what gets me is say I'm offline for like a week, and I come back and I have 2 or 3 letters in the mail advertising gold. I want to know how these bots know me when I'm gone for a week. They must have a list somewhere of every character on the server and they just cycle through them when their bots don't get through on the whisper ads, so they just mail it.

I think what they need is a system in the mail system that allows you to forward mail to the GMs. From their, the GMs can track the account that sent the item and then take the required measures, depending on what it is. That way, it's not "my word against his word".

[SlyHilgen]

I am so glad to know it is not just me. I wish there was a way to remove yourself from the /who list.

lmao
I agree 100%.

@YAWP, I report any and all gold spams. The GM's can track your mail, and have done so for me when I've reported them.

got something like that a few days ago, it made me smile. At least its more original then the usual gold spam.

[Sarc]

Yeah, I get those whispers constantly. I also recieve whispers asking me if I have found jesus in my life. . . exactly what's on my mind when I'm concentrating on curator fight. . .:shocked:

get a tin foil hat :P

I always see how quickly I can reply with rude whispers about what I did to the senders mother in which orifice and what I made her do after the act was finished.

But that is quite the unique ad.

[Idol]

I play a gold selling game. Whenever someone whispers me with an ad, I see if I can think of a witty reply and send it to them before they log off.

It's a hard game, I normally get 'that character doesn't exist or isn't online' sort of stuff.

[snrofgar]

im constantly asking gold spammers to group... "you have invited xxxushuhxnnx to join your group" so far i have had none accept... :(
You cant ignore them coz everytime its a lvl 1 with a Random name Eg xxttexfredx lol, i also got that Poem one.... scared me at the time

[Serrat]

ive stuck so many random named goldsellers on my ignore list that i dont have any room.

then i get mail spam from them every day.

bring back the days were there was no gold sellers message or mail spamming.

not had one like the op though.

at least its slightly better than the usual messages.

[Caderbery]

Ive started to get alot of these over the last few days, up untill then i have had no /w or mail from them. Ive looking in the gm help section but cant see wear i should report them to, which option is best to use?

[rgirty]

I think they have some sort of mod that uses AH listing. Some way to see who is auctioning things.

I take care of all of the AH work for my wife and myself on my char. I get a ton of gold whispers and she has never gotten a single 1. Maybe i'm wrong, but it seems strange.

I got one yesterday and reported it in the Verbal Harassment Ticket, and the GM I talked to said they would try to take care if the problem.

I don't think it has anything to do with the AH, I don't get any with my Auction character (Except Trade Chat Spam) but my Main I get whispers all the time.

[Xaintrix]

Actually doesn't /dnd take you off who listings?

I know it's a bit annoying, but hey if it saves you some grief...

[cyradis2003]

I wonder if some of the spams are from Armory now. I have been getting a lot of "free power leveling 60-70" whispers aimed at my 62 hunter mut my 70 main gets gold sellers. My little guys get nothing so far except the mailbox spam.

[Summër]

I get gold-selling spams... at lvl 16 :(

[Daidoji Sagara]

I fell ya brother. My main toon is 39 right now, and it feels like a *stream* of gold sellers keep sending me /w. Every 15 minutes or so. While leveling. While vending. While chilling out with guild. During friggin' PvP!!

Sorry guys, but -NO-. I'm a student of kcma's, and got far more gold than I'll ever need. And the best thing is I can undercut those... people (let's remain polite) by giving a little gold for free to my guildmates/friends. That 100 less gold for you, MISTER! :evil:

[Undeadwarlok]

It's simple really, the people that sell gold make a trial account, and then use auto-typer and thing of the sort to advertise it's product, (whether it be gold, powerleveling, ect.)

[monolith]

I got about 4 of these in the space of 2 hours the other day. It made me want to do less than pleasant things to them.

I'm single. Pathetically so. I don't need constant reminders of this as I play something to divert me from the soul-destroying loneliness that is my day to day existence.

I've put them on my ignore list, and I open tickets. But that doesn't stop the spamming. And strangely, some of them are still in my ignore list. What does it take, Blizzard, to ban the gold-selling whisperers? Must I make infernal pacts with forces from beyond space and time? Will I need to make sacrifices to the great old ones in order to not get interrupted in my travails of azeroth?

If I could, I'd start sacrificing the gold sellers. Not the little people either. The bosses. Kill the head and the body will die. And I might be able to awaken ancient evils, too. An added bonus.
