Mythic has recently taken steps to ensure that their game community is free of Gold Sellers and Spammers by banning 4,000+ accounts. You can rest assured that the gold farmers will have a much tougher time penetrating the games economy.

“Folks,

For the last few days we’ve received a number of complaints regarding the increasing number of gold sellers/spammers that some players are seeing. So, I thought now was a good time to update you on our progress and give you some rather interesting statistics.

1) Since WAR has launched, Mythic’s CSRs have handled over 100,000 appeals that are gold seller/spammer related. This breaks down to roughly 10,000 per day. While we have a large staff, these appeals now account for 1/2 of all appeals our CSRs see and have to handle in the game.

2) As of this morning, Mythic had already banned 1500 accounts for gold spamming/selling.

3) As of this message, we are in the process of permanently banning another 2500 accounts from our game, bringing the total to 4,000 banned so far. We hope that today’s banning will significantly slow down the number and frequency of spammers for a little while at least.

4) Most of these accounts belong to a number of individuals/companies who are buying lots of accounts for use by groups/individuals who work with and/or for them. These accounts are not simply individuals who are seeking to make money in our game (which is bad enough) but rather, to well-organized groups that are trying to flood our servers with gold selling messages and gold farming/selling itself.”
