    no idea really, if they have stoeln credits cards then maybe. OR they are doing the whole digital download thing with maybe a keygen or something Who knows. Do NOT take that information and run with it like some others have and say that ZOS is jsut in it for the money and working hand in hand with the botters to make money off of thier users.

    Got a message in the inbox but no notification mail unfortunately.
    names like jshdjshdjsa hyjtyutyuty seem to be typical
    Perhaps alter the policy a bit;
    If it looks like a kitty walking over a keyboard could do better-instant ban.
    Anyone with such name most likely is not in it for the game,nor should these individuals ruin it for players that plan to settle in this game.

    Follow the link below to check it out:


    You posting the actual link to the site is smart how?

    Seriously? You think people come here looking for a site to buy gold from? Thinking before reacting makes you look less of an idiot.

    They asked for information I gave it to them, simple as that. Mods grabbed the IP and deleted it mission accomplished.

    You believe what you posted, seriously?

    They asked for the name of the person that sent you the pm. That is the information that was requested. Not a copy and paste of the pm /email with the site info and links.

    Please read your own words:

    "Thinking before reacting makes you look less of an idiot."

    You may learn something.

    For future reference..yes people do click links and then get viruses because some people do not know better.

    Im gonna have to agree with the others here.. I have NEVER seen this many bots run so god damn rampant on a game before in my life. I am 35 years old, been playing MMO's since Ultima Online.. and this is INSANE. Between teleporting bots, hacking bots, camping bots, spamming bots, forum bots, Mailing bots, and now PMing bots!? Im honestly starting to think you have MORE bots then actual friggen players at this point.

    a "report gold spam" option in the right-click menu that auto reports and ignores the individual would be nice.

    I feel left out, I have not gotten one yet. Guess that is the upside of only having forum account unbanned yesterday. Take that bots!

    got one from : hjhgjrtyrtyrt

    Hum.. yah like i would trust a gold seller to have a very secure server and make sure my CC info are not used anywhere else...

    if people used a bit more grey matter these gold seller would be gone... I mean these gold seller are sending unwanted crap to people and some moron think it's a good idea to use them...

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ or @ZOS_AlanG‌ Hey can you ban this admin for encouraging them to name and shame?

    I know it's to speed it up but if your breaking your own rules here wheres the line going to be drawn next time?

    <I removed all your extra blank lines>
    Indeed. I'm all for getting rid of these gold sellers on the forums and in game, but when you start breaking rules to "make something faster" it becomes a slippery slope. I imagine this would have been just as fast to have us PM them the names instead of publicly posting them here...

    Oo
    Yeah I figured that didn't apply to Admins/Mods but I guess your right, still I don't like the idea of breaking rules for convenience.
    btw... it's always a good idea to cut off all private forms of communication with the people in charge.
