Can confirm. Literally A52 (I had to leave, it’s awful) bank is back to front huokan spammers. And that’s fine to Blizzard. Lmao. What a joke.

It’s not even about being bad. Turns out raiding and KSM and such isn’t a single player effort. Sometimes its easier to grab the carry for a fairly trivial amount of gold than it is to put together a team or deal with pugging. Hell, some might do it so they CAN get into pugs by linking the achievement and such.
I don’t actually think it’s a service tons and tons and tons of people actively seek out of their own will, but when it’s conveniently in your face on every server in every public chat and in the group finder tool, if you have the gold, it’s a pretty easy decision to go “ok I’ll take the easy way”.
Blizzard let it get this bad and did next to nothing about it until it became the norm. Now it’s not going away, and it sucks.
Honestly, this one thing is why I’d welcome Blizzard revisiting the concept of “Pristine” servers. I’m aware they were proposed as an alternative to Classic servers, but if we hit the reset switch on some things, especially cross-realm things, tokens, etc, only for those servers, it’d be a good way for people opposed to how things currently play out to just… avoid it entirely.

I'm ashamed to say I bought various things for Diablo 2 a really long time ago.
as for WoW, nah. I mean I have my occasional blizz store mount, but buying a carry isn't my thing. Classic had a few people running dungeons asking for tips. I was like...uh...1 gold enough? I'm poor lol
Don’t forget even if you have a chat block addon they will change their spam to bypass it.

So if all these people are admitting to leaving trade chat just because of how bad the spam is, isn’t that a problem that should be addressed guys?

And I’m the Easter bunny.
see, that is the catch 22- they want gold only. dumbdumb buying a carry spends real money to buy blizzard’s tokens for said gold. it’s a win-win-win for all honorless parties involved.
I have noticed an uptick in advertising once the wow token was introduced in legion. Wasn’t as bad in legion but now it’s really bad.

That’s it then honestly. The Huokan community is making Blizzard money, so it won’t stop.

This is a player-created problem. If nobody paid for these, then they would all disappear. While players are happy to pay, it will keep happening. If you want to curse anyone, curse the players who keep the trade alive.
