The spam advertisements we receive quite blatantely display the website and company names of who is tryin to sell the gold.
It is quite easy for Blizzard to sue, the companies are in the majority American based - don't argue if you haven't looked into it like me. These companies are advertising within privately owned servers - Imagine One car company standing a a hired spokesperson in another car companies lot. Illegal, no? Sueable? Yes.
Also, Blizzard can script an instant block into a msg sent with the name of the offending company in it.
I'm thinkin Blizzard is taking a cut to allow these sites to operate.
I mean, they can make a profanity filter right? Well I find it hard to believe they can't turn www.sellgold.com (for example) into @&#$%^&**()()&%.
Don't say "what if people want to mention the sites in chat". There's no need.
Hey Blizzard? L2Getoffyourarseandaddressissues.
It would take a few days to gather the site names, and BAM. Gone. 1 mb patch and fixed.
