There’s the LFG channel, Services Channel & Guild Recruitment Channel.
Apparently everyone uses the LFG channel. I can’t read fast enough to see if there is a group I need or even worse, anyone read my post I’m LFG.
Aside the fact I have to wait in group finder for 30+ min because I’m DPS.
I just turned 60 and hadn’t had this channel on because I was focused on just questing and doing my own thing. Now that i turned the channel on, holy cow!
i can’t /ignore or report that fast. I’d rather just put people on /ignore, but it never ceases!
The thing is, they’re not supposed to be advertising in LFG. Reports should flag their account, but apparently not enough people are doing it, so they stay.
Blizzard ain’t going to do anything. Anniversary is not on their care list.
They’re probably just using burner accounts to advertise. They don’t care if they get temporarily squelched. These boosters are probably also gold sellers. And boosting is rampant with RMT to pay for it. So they sell the gold to boosties, get paid the gold right back, and sell it again to be used for even more boosts.
Yeah people are going to need to start reporting those that are advertising in the LFG channel and even with that it may take a bit. I’m honestly not surprised though, I figure most of them are doing it because they figure no one is looking at the services channel.
theres a useful addon called “LFG Bulletin Board” that aggregates LFG chat posts based on topic, it works pretty well and filters out all the advertising junk
