    Sorry, I've been extremely busy the last few days and still am. I will do my best to rid of whatever spam I find (fyi - I'm currently browsing through 20+ pages of spam posts).

    Please bear with me as I will not be as available in the upcoming weeks. b:surrender

    Damn, seems like they're getting smarter.

    They're copying titles of normal threads now.

    First new one I've seen in a while is up. Hopefully that doesn't mean a ****ton of them signed up for new accounts 3 days ago.

    And the phishing site link appears to work too, so so much for that idea . . .

    It looks like the Spam bots have been thwarted by the new posting restrictions.
    Time to unsticky this.

    I have a question. When we see a bot on the game wandering around killing things, ksing people etc... Can we pull a boss from nearby on them and dc ourselves and will it then kill the bot so they can't continue with their leveling??? I just hate seeing bots out there leveling and not being there to put in the work like the rest of us. Thanks for listening .

    You can't log out of game if you got agro on a boss.
    The way to do it is get a boss with aoe.

    But wouldn't the boss deagro as soon as you did it?
    What would be the point.
    You need an aoe.

    Uh oh, you'd better quit and find a new game to play if you think PWE cares that much about you. >_>

    Stash 'gifts' are almost exclusively timed or **** now, no use opening it anyway.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Make sure your quest list isn't full and that you have enough space in your bag. IIRC you need like 6 bag slots.

    No. Screenshot and report it. As well as screening your efforts to verify it's a bot. A lot of people leave that part out and a picture of someone killing isn't enough proof. :P

    Hi everyone,

    With the recent influx in spam bots advertising and spamming the forums, I've noticed several accounts used to spamming the forums are in fact accounts that have been compromised by an outside source.

    If your forum account was recently perma-banned, please let me know via a pm and pm only as we don't allow bans to be discussed on the forums. I will try to gather a list of the accounts that were banned for spamming the forums and see what can be done in order to help the account owners.

    In the meantime, please download malwarbytes or any other software made to scan and find keyloggers and other virus and malicious softwares on your computer to determine if your account was compromised by one, and remove it.

    If you can still log into your account but can't post on the forums, please - and only after you've removed any malicious softwares from your machine - change the password.

    This is not an official PWE message, but my own attempt to assist forum members, I'm not a GM and cannot ban or unban you.

    Thanks and have a great weekend!

    Shelly

    09/02/12 UPDATE:

    Please refrain from clicking any links posted by the spam bots. Your account may end up getting compromised/banned by doing so.

    08/30/12 UPDATE:

    Those that messaged me about their forum accounts being wrongfully banned for being spam bots were taken care of by the team. If you still have an issue, please let me know.

    Stop drop and roll........ hired got me so fired im a stop drop and roll.... bored
