This happened on the Boulderfist realm about 3 days ago, I was heading to stormwind to sell some ore when i happened across an army of who-knows-what, A bunch of people around were saying it was a group of gold spammers, and a top-down view of it said something like = OM [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/xmljjb.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2u45yfa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/2ag6ghv.jpg[/IMG] They float way up off the ground They all look the same They all do the exact same movement at the exact same time. What the hell?

Yeah, it's their new thing because Blizzard started to get a bit better at cleaning up the corpses.
if they could hack their way to float like that, you would think they could hack their way to dalaran
This somehow reminds me of the 3 orc shaman I saw in a BG, all called a variant on "DrManhattan" and all doing the same exact thing. At first I thought it was a mage's mirror image or something
[QUOTE=ketchup;19691291]if they could hack their way to float like that, you would think they could hack their way to dalaran[/QUOTE] Speedhack to Stormwind + Move upwards would take about 30 seconds max, going to Dalaran would take longer as you have to wait for the boat and such.
Meh, atleast it's not as bad as this. [url]http://gamerlimit.com/2009/06/porn-stars-are-mmo-billboards/[/url]
[QUOTE=Caps lock;19692924]Speedhack to Stormwind + Move upwards would take about 30 seconds max, going to Dalaran would take longer as you have to wait for the boat and such.[/QUOTE] I don't see the point in flying up a few feet into the air, what are they gaining from doing that?
[QUOTE=honeybuns;19693189]I don't see the point in flying up a few feet into the air, what are they gaining from doing that?[/QUOTE] I think they're trying to make them stand out in the crowd.
Either that or this is actually a bug in the program they use to make the corpse patterns where it's not teleporting them up high enough and/or letting them fall.

MultiBoxing is awesome fun but it's really expensive to keep up.
[QUOTE=Caps lock;19700641]MultiBoxing is awesome fun but it's really expensive to keep up.[/QUOTE] Agreed, thinking of starting again, but I'm not sure I can afford it, or have the time. Will take ages if I level new chars without RaF.
[QUOTE=Caps lock;19700641]MultiBoxing is awesome fun but it's really expensive to keep up.[/QUOTE] Kinda doesn't seem that much if you buy it in one big chunk
Exactly same thing happened in Skullcrusher Eu too 3 days ago. [img]http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/f816726296909917f786b0769784c299c41d77d3.png[/img]
It's not even WoW clients they're using. Just some simple reverse engineered scripts.
Nazgrel (US) was under siege by these gold-spammers a few days ago: [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/WoWScrnShot_011510_162125.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/WoWScrnShot_011510_162434.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/WoWScrnShot_011510_162658.jpg[/IMG]
Saw this too, and to those guys talking about multiboxing: seriously that's a true waste of money!!
If it's fun then the money hasn't gone to waste.
Such a waste of names...
Situations like these are why you always keep a train set handy
I wonder how much Blizzard is making off these peoples subscriptions O.o
They're normally hacked accounts.
it's either trial accounts or stripped accounts that they use, anyway i haven't seen this in Earthen Ring or Eldre'Thalas yet
Wow!
If you look closely, they stand to spell something out? I see N O _______
The dead ones still populate the realm i'm in (Antonidas U.S.) They are always female priests..and they always spell out some of the stupidest fucking domain names i've ever seen... Also, Does anyone know if the fire totem glitch still works? Because I could use that to kill them since they are level 1.
Wow, that's scary! In EU servers I've only seen a text of dead characters, and that was a while ago. We usually just get insane /trade spam and /whispers. I wish blizzard could stop them, they're really annoying. On a side note, if people want gold they'll find out where to get it themselves.
Oh my god, the invasion has begun! Screenshot taken just a minute ago: [IMG]http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/WoWScrnShot_012310_180356.jpg[/IMG]
