Default Caught In The Act

Ok. I have no idea where else to put this so I decided this was the best place for it. I found someone advertising the selling of Guild Wars currency for real money. I got a nice clear screenshot of it and the name of the person. They also provided a place to go for purchasing this "money".

Send it to Anet. I don't think you can post names here.

heh

It's quite funny -- it's not a person -- it's completely automated. Better known as a "bot"

If you've reported em -- it's really all you can do -- it's Anet's move now. But let's face it, if people wish to squander their real money on fake virtual money....who cares..??

Thanks for taking the time to report this. Whenever you see an account being used for advertising like this, send a report to us via the support page. Include the character name, territory, game location and time (including time zone you are in) and our CS team will investigate. Screenshots are useful, as well.

In other words he wants a cookie as well!

Actually he would probably want a hob-nob as he's from brighton
