Waaagh! They gave the banhammer to the greenskin! Run!

Mark Jacobs, head of Mythic Entertainment, has made it very clear that he hates goldsellers. He possibly hates them more than the collective of minds that is Ten Ton Hammer, and that's always very respectable. The difference is though, he's now in a position where he can do something about it. And enjoy it. He's made a post in his blog to share the enjoyment with us:

Since WAR launched we have been banning these jerks like crazy. As of Saturday Night, we had banned about 400 of them. My CSRs have a zero tolerance policy. We don’t wait and let them stay in the game and ban them en-masse, my guys ban their useless, time-consuming butts right away. We have a strike team whose sole job it is to get these guys off our servers as quickly as possible. This weekend, we unveiled a new wrinkle in the fight against them, the public ban message. Players on our Phoenix Throne server have been treated to special messages when a gold seller/spammer is banned. I’ve given them a wide leash to come up with creative messages to tell the entire community who has been banned and we keep it within the Warhammer universe. Messages like “Tchar’zanek has ordered the slaughter of [Spammer] and all others of his kind who weaken the Raven Host by providing wealth and power to the unworthy” have been seen all weekend. We will continue this policy and expand it to the other servers. We are in for a real fight against these bottom feeders and it will be a long and costly battle but it’s one we are going to take to them and this is only the first step. After all, this is WAR.

Truer words were never spoken - High ho the merry o indeed.
