Blizzard is retarded, since it wants to produce huge numbers of banned accounts to make it look that they're extremely aggressive about curbing exploiters, they wipe out years of progress for legitimate people as well.

gold framers, and the people who buy gold are the lowest of scum in wow, the shackers who play are at the top.

i just love GCR becuase it's feels like i'm playing with gamers who enjoy playing mmo's, not people who live and breath mmo's.

I remember how surprised people were when Squeenix banned 7,450 players and removed 6 billion gil a few day ago.

Unfortunately this is just a drop in the bucket and the pro gold farmers will just go out and buy another retail box (my local Best Buy has it for $20 USD) and level a character to 60 in a few days.

Massive inflation is inevitable in an economy of unlimited supply and unlimited demand.
