Gold Spammers
“They should be kicked down a burning flight of stairs covered in broken glass and AIDS.” These were the words a guildmate of mine recently used to describe his feeling towards the parasites of the MMO genre we have all come to know and hate, the gold spammers. Every major MMO in the last few years has been infested with the likes of these scumbags. It doesn’t matter if the game is big or small; these blood-sucking leeches are ready to offer you their dubious services in order to make your gameplay experience a more enjoyable one. They always seem to find you. Most commonly many of us will receive the random tell from a gentleman with an almost unprenouncable name, probably generated from rolling his face over the keyboard. These worldly scholars mysteriously also seem to share the same commanding mastery of English language. In more recent games like Age of Conan, they could be seen shouting in general chat and filling your in-game mailbox with advertisements.
