Gnome corpse advertisement in WoW by gold farmers

As much as I hate gold farmers, this has me a little impressed.

I noticed a perfectly straight line of girlgnome corpses in front of the IF bank last night. GMs must have caught them mid-creation on my server.

"It's rainin' men! Hallelujah!"

Gotta give props for this, I say anyone that would go to these lengths deserves to make a few bucks off some gold.

It's sooooooooo annoying, now the gold farmers in my realm have started to auto invite everyone into their raid group and once you join it's just spamming the same message.

Reading about WOW gives me that extra boost of self-confidence I can always appreciate. It's nice knowing you're better looking and more successful than at least 8 million fellow gamers.

Blizzard needs to start perm banning some IP ranges for this crap. It is ruining their pristine world













of warcraft.

HAHAHA

I really find this comment very, very stupid and funny XD

I know of lots of people, even girls, good looking girls who play WoW and every player that I know, has a good stable job, so let me tell you something: not all stereotypes are true.

Gnome Corpses? well thats fine, I guess, but you have to use minotaur corpses to impress me.

oh man I am so glad you never see this BS in Guild Wars. In fact since 90% of the "best" items are cheap as hell, nobody needs gold farmers.

Maybe we will put something like this in a future episode of Life in a Game:

wow i am REALLY sorry about that triple post

Your skilling in Advertising has increased 1 Point

You say it, Jonathan Tran!

synce: "Reading about WOW gives me that extra boost of self-confidence I can always appreciate. It's nice knowing you're better looking and more successful than at least 8 million fellow gamers."

If reading about WOW can boost your self-confidence... wow.... you must be really pathetic.

I find this highly entertaining, both for the concept itself (advertising via dead gnomes) and the fact that gold farmers are getting this desperate to advertise in game, but the fact that putting that concept into practice could mess with a server, and potentially crash it if it's on a heavy load, makes me want to see this stopped for good ASAP.

Christ, is that one gnome per account?

No, this was a straight hack. Every gnome didn't give any corpse information when I clicked on them.

World of Warcraft publisher Blizzard Entertainment has filed suit in U.S. federal court against a popular gold-selling operation for spamming players with ads for virtual gold, according to the Warcry Network and other sources.

In its post, Warcry's Razorwire blog quoted a Blizzard employee as saying, "We felt that it was important to share with the community just how serious we are in our efforts to combat (in-game gold spamming). Blizzard has filed a federal lawsuit against the operators of Peons4hire, a popular gold-selling organization."

Blizzard spokesperson Shon Damron, in an e-mail, confirmed the lawsuit.

It's interesting that the company is going after a small outfit like Peons4hire. After all, huge outfits like IGE are making enormous profits buying and selling WoW gold, as well as virtual assets from other online games.

As Warcry put it, "Don't worry, Blizzard and the rest of the (online game) companies still don't have the (guts) to sue (outfits like IGE) for actually selling gold."
