Primarily because of this post, I think, a gold farming site has discovered this blog, and daily posts 30+ comments advertising their site. Or at least, they try to do so, but they get moderated out. I'm not going to link them or mention their name, for obvious reasons, but I do of course hope they die in a fire.
Gold farmers are a plague in all MMOs: they log in bots using free account keys, and stand in the middle of populated areas to spam the chat channels, advertising their services. They get banned quickly, but they have an army of new bots to come on the scene immediately, to replace their fallen bretheren. They're like roaches, and they make legitimate players really mad. Which hurts the game experience, which can cause people to quit, which reduces the demand for their services, so one wonders why they do what they do.
In any case, please, do, die unpleasantly, you spamming jerks.

"Die in a fire!" I love this saying! It makes me chuckle every time I hear it, mainly because my GF is so fond of saying it.
We are both big time WoW addicts, and we too share your abhorrence for gold spammers. May they all rot.
