So this post is not about a fancy new game or technology but it is something I feel needs to be addressed. And that is gold spammers, account hackers, and paid leveling services.
I for one have never used any of these services but the amount of companies and people out there now is getting a little ridiculous. I cannot be logged into WoW for five minutes without getting a whisper about buying gold or a special promotion where I have won an exclusive mount/pet/beta key all I have to do is log onto a key logging website masked as a blizzard page, an in-game mail, or seeing a dozen spams in trade for gold sales. The newest form of whisper I get is the spammer pretending like they know me and then saying "we only have 350k gold left we will give it to you for a special discount price."
My response, " I have never nor will I ever purchase gold, so stop wasting my time on a game I pay good money to play." If I am in a good mood it will remain PG but after getting a dozen whispers in an hour, my ignore list full and hitting the report spam button more than any healing spell, it gets a little tiring.
This practice is not only occurring in WoW, on Xbox live I have also received messages asking if I would like to pay to prestige in Modern Warfare 2 and level in other games.
I wish that Blizzard and other gaming companies could put an end to the constant badgering of their consumers. If this continues I do not see why I would continue to pay $15 per month to constantly be harassed and hackers try and steal my account.
