First Post - Scam botters for easy gold

[vardman]

I've done this about 4 times with a 50% success rate.

I send a mail to someone I find in a battleground who is obviously botting that they have been found botting and I will report them and threaten that they will lose all their recently purchased gear / tokens / etc and may even receive a perma ban.

I then add that for the sum of 100 G I will completely forget about ever seeing them and they can continue botting away.

Worked twice, as I said... and just logged in to 200 gold awaiting in my mailbox.

I can upload some screens later of the exact mails

repost!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is, in fact, a repost, please link it.

And yes, I know it is, I'm posting the link here, but for future reference, please link a thread as proof of repost if you are going to accuse them.

The proof:

There's no need for proof posting. If it's a repost it's a repost regardless of if there's a link. Stop trying to be cool Vertigo, you're just an over-raged fat kid.

i rarely find somebody on my server in the same bg, but i have recently taken a free xfer to a new battle group might try it.

acctually it IS necessary to post proof-- its not ok to flame "repost" if you dont have a link to back that up

Torus I think a brick would have a higher IQ than you.

OT: This is quite a cool idea, but if the botter played it safe he could just report you for blackmail

BUT, even if it is a repost, I haven't seen it before so +rep.

[Theonethatowns]

man this is mega repost

[mopyohn]

Wait, maybe I'm missing something here, how is a botter supposed to read the message if they're botting...

[Piemano]

Most of these bots have in built features that allow logging of messages so that when the user comes back, he can see who/what whispered him (good to know if Blizzard has been trying to wiggle you).

Liquid... Let me start off by saying. you're a moron, you find threads I post in just to post in them to TRY and flame me. But honestly I laugh at EVERY last one of your post, as you post dribble 8/10 of the time. Nothing needs added to that.

When something like this comes along that is such an OBIVOUS repost. There is NO need for a link to prove it. People aren't "flaming" when they say repost, they are simply saying it's been posted before.

If the person posting did the leg work to find out before hand then there would be no need for people to say Repost. But instead, you all get arse hurt when someone tells someone else that something is reposted.

I SEARCH for things before I just post. Or if I already know something I am about to post is 1/2 repost and 1/2 new technique I state so in my thread and have even acredited supporting threads. That's when links are needed, when you are giving credit.

I think it goes without saying that if someone is saying repost, or if 10 people are saying repost there's a good chance it's a repost. Period. Links are just extra at that point. If it's flagged repost then the author can search for it like he should have in the first place.

Anyways that's my view on it. I don't really care if you think I am wrong. I don't care if you want to flame me. Fact is if people did the appropriate leg work BEFORE posting the word "repost" wouldn't be such a commonly used word around these forums.

Torus, just so you know, he doesn't dribble with 8/10 of his posts, it seems like you're just getting pissed at me because I told you off now. If you see my other thread about the enchanting scam, you make yourself look like an idiot by saying

*blinks*
.....

as your only post, and didn't say ANYTHING else, obviously just trying to get your post count up.

And once people started flaming you, you got all defensive and pissed at me. So honestly, you're the only "dribbler" here, and yes, even if it is a huge repost, some people don't know that, so you do need proof.

So either learn common sense or stop being an idiot by flaming people that are flaming you for being an idiot.
