Blizzard denies WoW gold farmers, cheats

my mate got banned and doesnt farm, in the email it said doing something against the "essence" of wow.. now he plays an oceanic server while living in hong kong. it sounds pretty suss top me.

Hehe on the note of randomly altering Christmas carols for World of Warcraft, someone on their General Forums has altered a song to match the Burning Crusade anticipation ;)

lol @ that

Meh, I hope the people who had their accounts closed quit the game.

I wonder what sort of evidence they have for this stuff.

Its good that they're really cracking down, but I'm concerned that if they're banning that many people, then surely there's going to be a few p!ssed off people who were actually innocent.

Good on them, I like there system; Detect and ban in one massive swoop.

Oh noes. People are gold farming.

QQ more blizzard.

If they were smart they would be selling gold themselves on the side.

^

Idiot

Do you need water for farmin here in the oceanic servers?

*doesn't play wow*

what does gold farming actually involve? is it only possible to do while macroing?

I want to be appointed as a Blizzard dev.
So I can be "The Random Guy".

Basically I'd have power to do anything. Fly around and appear to lonely players in the wilderness, and do a Monty Python style God vision.

Also, I'd stalk around at night as some kind of Anubis demon and just kill players instanty.

It'd break the monotony, put people on their guards. Even the pros would fear me =D

Looks like the account I sold a number of months ago was involved in this somehow. Not sure why my account was still associated with my own email address, though. The guy I sold it to probably used it to distribute gold bought from farmers or something.

I'm a noob...i cant farm gold because the monsters only drop copper and silver.

They basically look for all accounts who have a lot of gold being sent out of them and accounts that have a massive amount being received. Once they identify the farmer's bank, the rest is easy - they just look who has been sending the gold. Its extremely easy once they are on the trail, its the tips that pay off though. I have been playing since Jan 2005, have 5 lvl 60s and a bunch of alts. I have NEVER needed to buy gold, cheat or do anything against the "essence" of the game.

To be quite honest, I'm pretty sure anyone who did get banned was for the right reason.

They would have a database history backup which probably stretches back to when the game started. You would assume they can trace anything pretty much.

They have probably written bots to sniff this stuff out automatically by looking for certain tell tale signs.

yeh man ur heaps cool, go roll a roleplayer server.

look out

yeh man ur heaps cool, go roll a roleplayer server

Yeh man I'm talking theoretically, I don't even play WoW or any mmo for that matter so off you go.

played wow for a whole week if that, after buying it (i never bothered with the demo) the reason i disliked it most was it was to easy, the ones who farm their chars and ruin the economy for others who craft etc deserve what they get i only wish EA would get their act together like blizzard has.. I didnt like the game but i like what blizzard are doing i doubt other companys will follow suit but u never know ..

There's a bunch of methods used, for instance there's the bots which kill & loot mobs, requiring no manual input. There's also the manual method of this as well, where people take it in turns to be 'farming' 24/7.

Then there's the 'farmers' who 'farm' certain places (and/or instances using glitches) for rare-drops/gold which they sell on the AH.

They basically gain in-game items and gold, and then put the items on the AH for a higher price (therefore inflating the economy) and they sell the gold on various gold-selling websites.

The farmers are still there, my guildie was banned for supposedly selling/stealing gold despite he quite obviously didn't. So as far as I'm concerned Blizzard fails hard at stopping cheats, I think they just close random accounts to try and look like they are doing something.

caska is hot

gerby knows the score.

7. Blizzard’s Absolute Right to Suspend, Terminate and/or Delete the Account.

BLIZZARD MAY SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY, OR DELETE THE ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME WITH ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. For purposes of explanation and not limitation, most account suspensions, terminations and/or deletions are the result of violations of this Terms of Use or the EULA.

Do any of you actually read it before you click 'I Agree"?

Blizzard doesnt ban someone unless its beyond reasonable doubt (its in their workers good practise guide). If you know a friend who was banned, chances are they were guilty of something breaching the higher levels of the T&C. Unlike some games blizzard investigates first and bans later (they have to).

Blizzard can use a whole bunch of tools to track down farmers. Ip logs, account logs, character grid movements, code being sent/received by the server (injections get detected) and a whole bunch more.
Its all just a matter of time before a bot/farmer is caught.

Now i recomend the whingers here go play another game or just accept the fact that their "friends" or whatever, were caught, bad luck, move on. :)

You based this on what? the fact that you got to lvl 6?

It gets harder as you gain levels

:edit:
And if you want a challenge for your l33t skillz, try fighting other players or joining a pvp realm.

I'd have to agree that WOW is easy.
To appeal to such a wide audience it HAD to be made easy and they even put in an 'easy' class (palladins and blizz admitted as much).

I play on a PVP realm from day 1 have 4 x 60's with lots of shinies and frankly it just gets easier as u gear-up your characters.

PVP is pretty much an arcade-style, where errors are very forgivable as there are so many ways to survive.

I refer to WOW-PVP as PVP-Lite...all the adrenaline of good PVP but with no consequences or hangover.

As for farmers...string them all up and publicise their accounts next to the lists of paedophiles.

My god, you actually believe this?

i am sure blizzard take 5 min of thier time for each of the 105,000 account to make sure its justify....

lol...

WoW is one of the easiest RPG's out there. No death consequence = uber easy.

The only real challenge is PVP BGs and raids...

But hey, imo. easy translates to fun in this case. Though I do admit the "mmm I want to ruin people by pk'ing them" factor is completely missed... :( Though if I want that I'll go play Diablo 2 Hardcore :P

Considering that people pay to play.. I'd expect that if they were to close accounts with nothing more than suspicion soon enough they'd have some nice lawsuits to combat. Think about how many people play the game... if they banned any good amount of people who weren't in the wrong they're bound to hit the rich lawyer :P

Lawsuits won't work against them if the person clicked that they agreed to the terms and use agreement. That agreement is so general when describing what blizz are able to do, that when you agree to it, you're agreeing that blizz can essentially do anything to your account with or without your consent. As you agreed to it, any lawsuit will just be thrown out, or you'll lose simply for being a moron who can't read properley.
