All i can say is GG BLIZZ! woohoo! I've been quited annoyed. I have noticed the prices of almost everything on my server has dropped by 20% the past 2 weeks, thats pretty cool. Even saw a regular epic that sells for 400g normally was going for 60g, and nobody had bought it. Crazy! :)

Pffff still see farmers on my server and mats for enchanting are getting realllllly expensive(saw 1 small radiant shard going for 99g). 30k accounts can be banned but there will be another 30k remade.

Have seen alot of what I believe are gold-farmers on Dalvengyr and Ursin. Get into an area and players continued to aggro everything in the areas onto me. Continuously aggroing and then bringing them right to me. This is a new server and it is pretty pathetic.

30k ban vs how many accounts across how many US servers ? that is nothing really.

You know why they were short gold? I do.

Cause soon as Naxxaramus came out Rightous orbs and arcanite prices went out the roof on prices and were selling like mad.

It was odd that a guildie pointed that out about Mr Major gold sales site....but it made sense.

The normal supply of 20+ arcanite bars went Poof on patch day...orbs were sold soon as they hit auction.

I think your not looking at this picture like I am. I see MANY players are gold buyers at endgame....and they went on a bender to get into Naxxaramus.

you think its cause 30k farmers are gone out of well over 30 servers....I think its because MANY people went to buy gold right after 1.11 patch.

I've noticed them missing from Malfurion also. Two in particular in which had been reported over and over again are now gone. Yay Blizzard!

Try hanging out in the 20-30 zones. Duskwood, STV, Arathi, etc. I've reported a couple bots recently & seen several more. Perhaps the ones that got banned are just leveling up new toons.

Perhaps its is both the high demand for gold and the absense of 30k accounts that has them short handed.

What we need to do is knock some sense and honor into the gold BUYERS. IF there is no demand there is no supply...

You know our gaming economy could work on a credit system which is tied to your cdkey or as far as hardware Id's ....and gaming companies may need to have an IRS type monitoring system that investigates odd transactions. Starting a watch list of certain players etc.

Hardware ban ftw...totally Fudges the owner of that pc. YOu have to change your pc out to even play again vs buying another account.

I bet if those 30k accounts had Hardware bans (your hardware numbers are uploaded all the time in games like battlefield 2) YOu can totally screw farmers up by banning by hardware ID's. Verycostly fix to get your machine back online with wow if they did that.

Don't they do IP bans with the account bans? I don't see why that wouldn't work.

no u nubs they dont IP ban, sides theres many ways around ip bans :P so they just tag that credit card and ban ur account, making u spend a total of atleast 65$ US not much but gets old if u keep gettin banned
