does anyone else hate these people?

[skannerz22]

they sit around everyday breaking the TOS by gambling/scamming people with /roll taking everyones gold and spamming /say /yell

i rather the fly hacking corpse text of old gold sellers than these box humping gambling scammers

they are on every server everywhere on those boxes or the barrel
--- snip ---

i feel like nixxiom has missed an opportunity to make a machinima about them

So, report them? They get banned when Blizzard gets a report.

they never get banned

Oh, the ones I reported did. And I bet they get silenced automatically if more people report them, so that helps too.

Well, casino scam. You know 'give me 10 gold, roll /100 and if it's above 60 you get 20 back'. Things like that.

Same here, didn't see anything like this before.

And this is forbidden?

Damn they are rocking some flashy mogs

We don't have them in AD that I know off. I totally think a gnome and goblin casino should be a thing in WoW, like at the Speedbarge in TN.

I agree the game needs an official casino. You could tie it to the DMF, mogs and professions.Maybe there could be an arena there as well.

Naming + shaming not allowed. Report them and move on.

[Lochton]

Yeah, sorry.

1.: Naming and shaming isn't permitted on MMO-champion.
2.: Ignore.
3.: Report.
3b.: Reporting does work but it is under investigation by GM's.
4.: Move on.
5.: ???
6.: Profit - well, less spam.

It actually is not, the advertising for it is though.

[Priestiality]

We stopped having this problem on the Horde like 4 expansions ago because no one was dumb enough to get scammed and our responses were typically "lol get fucked". Sounds like Alliance should get better at self-policing.

[Bathory]

In all my years of WoW, I've only seen this happen, maybe twice, in vanilla. I didn't know people still tried this.

[Teri]

People that fall for that deserve to be scammed.

Who gives gold to strangers...

[Deleted]

It actually is not, the advertising for it is though.

Yeah, I checked now, because I can clearly remember it not being allowed, but it's forbidden to do in the EU and only forbidden to advertise in the US. So there's a sleight difference. Even so, reporting them will get them in trouble, either for advertising or running it.

Yeah, because a friend of a friend said so, right?

[Rezark]

The thing is, there are a few people that do this legitimately. The problem isn't with the casino gold rolling,It is with shitty scammers.

[Eurhetemec]

Well, casino scam. You know 'give me 10 gold, roll /100 and if it's above 60 you get 20 back'. Things like that.

Please tell me that exact one was a real scam? You'd have to be basically terrible at maths to fall for that, that's amazing.

And this is forbidden?

Only SINCE VANILLA son, try to keep up.

Er, no.

It's been against the TOS since Vanilla. People have been being suspended or banned for it since then. Particularly as it's risky for Blizzard due to the gambling laws of certain countries. So it's never "legitimate". It might be "honest" in some cases, but it's still against the TOS.

What do you mean? As described, it isn't a "scam" at all. It's just a game of chance weighted against you, as is every form of gambling everywhere. It actually has a *much higher* chance of success than most any form of gambling you can find. Blizzard's own games (hots) have far worse gambling deals than this. You yourself have probably "fallen" for scams with a lower chance of success. Ever buy a pack of cards for a TCG?
