> or selling stuff for real money Gold sellers were spamming Trade and LFG when i played WoW back in 2005

  I really enjoyed playing the original Everquest for a while, then followed friends over to WoW. I was definitely impressed by the game and the world in WoW, but within about a year I could see how "MMO economics" would become a dominant force in that style of game. I bailed and never looked back, and nothing in the intervening years has changed my mind about the fundamental issues with that sort of game. Pay to play is just so dull and predatory.

  What I don't understand is how, all these years later, they can spam the same message from the same accounts thousands of times before they are caught. They are using such exotic techniques like putting spaces between the letters in the url. It amazes me how little effort has been put into stopping these things over the decades now. One can only assume it's not considered a problem to them.
