[mmoivo]

for about 2 weeks i havnt seen any of my regular suppliers online and the prices of raw mats are going up . wtf is going on ? did all bots and farmers got a ban or something ? i hope not ... i would hate to have to go back to farm my own mats instead of doing something else on an alt or something ><

Blizzard is currently cracking down on farmers and sellers. Give it a month or so.

Apparently some of the farmers and guild farmers that I talk to have said what the 2nd poster stated, Blizzard is cracking down and also checking trade/mailing system

Hmm, I think this must be why my acc got banned, cause I sold some gold to buy some on a diff realm

is there a thread that keeps track of stuff like this in here ?if there isnt any someone good with posting go ahead and steal my idea giving you permition haha. i couldnt find any so just posted a question in the general

This is hearsay but when I reported a warp hack that was painfully obvious (real bot shouldn't stick out like thorns) GM once said they need to track them, determine the bot method (such as how the player gets under world and move around), also track all transaction via trade and email to the gold sellers and gold banks. Then when they have enough, they do a ban wave to kill all the bots and gold sellers at once. Since they do it all at once rather than account by account, hackers don't get much opportunity to revise anti-detection method.

Players who legitimately farmed gold (no bot, no hack, no scam) and sells them to gold seller will also get flagged if the gold seller is targeted for ban wave.

Interesting, gold prices will probably be rising soon.
