    Seen that site being advertised on HT afew times this last week or 2, in west and around the BH guy. Better not start a trend b:surrender Used to play a game where the GM's kinda ignored this, and it ended up where when you start a new toon, as soon as you login for 1st time an auto chat spammer spammed the website inside the entire city x.x

    sad thing is, one GM making a round of the major cities once an hour or three could so very easily eliminate any need to screenshot and ticket these motherless curs. once around the archo ring road, once through the main drag in each of dreamweaver, arrivals, 1k and the racial towns, and that'd have it pretty much covered. with free unlimited teleporting (which, surely, must be a gm feature?) that shouldn't take more than twenty-thirty minutes per turn, so doing it every few hours shouldn't be that unrealistic, should it?

    ('course, i'm assuming there are enough GMs to have at least one of them in-game on each server 24/7. that might be stupidly optimistic of me.)

    Heh, that site is totally bannable, permabannable. And I saw that same thing being spammed in DW, but forgot to screenie and report it. :P It's probably a virus site. Definitely send a ticket.

    There's another website that's been seeing a lot of promotion on in local spam chat at west arch and when the server came up last nite via world chat like fzf.com or whatever.

    Either these are scam artists that need to be banned simply for advertisement of PW digital items for real money, or, the result of PW's gold price beginning to invite a black market.

    With the amount of kids complaining about "****" accounts lately, I would have to say yes. Some people are just too gullible for their own good.

    I'd also like to note.... It's so freaking hard to even attempt to **** an account with the security they have in place it's not even reasonably possible. The only way anyone gets your account information is either because you give it away, or because you have a cheap virus/malware scanner that isn't updated and isn't keeping out the keyloggers from those "cheats" you downloaded and tried.

    EDIT: also, yes it is a bannable offense. The offender may even get IP banned. Although it's not like it's hard to spoof an IP address.

    Ctrl+click on the map is the GMs free teleport. They can go ****ing ANYWHERE. Including down to our dearest Maradona.

    So yes, an active GM could very easily cruise the cities every 3-6 hours and clean this **** up.

    dude lol,
    yet i dont know if there are many who fell for this scam.
    why to buy gold from a 3rd party website since you can get it safe and directly from pwi itself.
    similar **** in archosaur server,at where the Bounty hunter is.
    too bad,i think the seller doesn't know pwi much since its better to move to west archo cross

    Seems multiple gold bots for different gold sites have hit pw

    i haven't heard of the ones being listed yet, but there is another on HT, then the one that has been mentioned.

    Im not rly sure what pw can do about this becuase don't they just remake and change they're ip ?

    im sure if it were that simple to get rid of them many other known enjoyable games wouldn't be filled with gold bot spamm atm

    I did reported, but they are poping like mushrooms..b:shocked
    pretty much whats going to happen if they're here. IP ban doesn't rly work if you can change your ip (i guess)

    They were using world chat as well on HT. Had there been actual GM's who play the game instead of only bothering going into the game to respond to tickets between the PST hours of 10am-6pm M-F (or use players as a gimmick for a video feature on mmosite), this wouldn't have gone on for so long.

    This thread lives! :P

    I think they should sue the owner of the domain and instantly permaban anyone who is spamming it, unless they can prove their account was ****. And by ****, I mean honestly **** not "i gave my friend my password, and they **** me!" That's not hacking, thats just theft.
