WoW irritations

One of the most irritating things about WoW is the gold spammers. It used to be level 1 or 2 players, but those were too easy to block, so now the spammers are using real accounts. I don't know if it's stolen accounts or if it's "real" players getting paid to spam others, In either case, I've now begun to mail their guild leaders as well as reporting the spammers. And I'm taking screen shots and putting them on Picasa, in case any guild leader doesn't believe me.

Today's one is Jeriko at Blade's Edge, documented at http://picasaweb.google.com/jdybedahl/Goldspammers#

Anyone playing on Blade's Edge who gets a whisper from this guy, don't hesitate to report...

The real accounts I've seen (US servers (Ysera), so YMMV) are players who have installed a "hack". The hack takes over their account and presto! Instant gold/leveling spammer.

You know, after a hard day fending off spammers at work, the last thing I want to do is to have to fend off spammers while I play.
