Well apparently gold farming web sites have stepped up thier game. Anyone who plays on my server and has been in stormwind will know exactly what I mean. Yea, starting to really affect my game play experience. I know the complaint should be on the official forums but you all seem to be more mature in getting an opinion. I just want to know if Blizzard is going to start filing law suits against these companies? Is it even possible? Its starting to get way out of hand.
edit: sorry if it reads like an add. not intentional

There's corpses spelling out gold farming sites in the middle of Org on my realm (Aszune EU). The GMs removed some of them once so you couldn't see what it spelled, but they were back later that day, they just seem to give up.
Fix'd for my realm, but the same case applies. Along with the thousand spam messages about "wefarmgoldfornubz.com" offering safe and cheap gold on trade.

i always wondered how they died :o I once watched one of these ads get formed - gnomes fell from the sky and died from the falling damage at a precise location. I reckon the gold sellers were using hacks to get the gnomes up in the sky in the first place.
At that time, it was assumed that the GM's were just bored and liked dropping gnomes in from the sky, because the message wasn't actually legible. XD

We've got this in Ogrimmar its really annoying. But we can thank the people who buy the gold for this really.

Because they use free 10 day trial accounts. I complained to a gm about it and they said so.

***THIS IS A BUG,USE AT OWN RISK***
also,i don´t know if this works or not,but it worked before
as a shammy you can drop a totem(the 1 that does that AOE)and a second before it explodes you logg-out,and the totem will be Harmfull to everybody,and it will kill the gold seller,we used to do this on our realm,some people got warmed+temp banned for it,USE AT OWN RISK
sorry if this isn't allowed on wowhead either btw.
Long gone.
Note: I know that to get a lvl 1 alt dead in Org you just agro that tauren guy for that rogue pickpocket quest, not sure about alliance however.

It is because of the trial system. That really does break up.
There should be a test with trial accounts that will restrict access when a character is NOT atleast lvl6 (When they get out of the noob area) or perhaps lvl8/10. Up to testing.
Possible added restrictions could be:
- Not being allowed to use /trade
- Not being allowed to use /general outside of the starting area (Noobs do not venture further anyway until they reach lvl6 and are told to move
- Not being allowed to use /yell in a major city
- Not being allowed to whisper a person that is above lvl20 unless that person has YOU on their friends list
- Automatically remove dead bodies on logout (when they aren't lvl6 and up)
This way, it will take a trial member atleast somewhat close to an hour to get them up to lvl6 and allowed to use /trade. Now it's up to the community to actually get rid of these idiots and start caring with the "report spam" button so these accounts and efforts are banned.
I think if you do this, and possibly other things i've forget, you will see a gigantic decrease of gold spammers.
All of these things are already in effect for Trial accounts. You can't use /1, /2, or any others, you can't /y and you can't whisper someone unless they do have you on your friend list regardless of level.

I find it quite entertaining. I also like it when they make a trail of skeletons from the gates of Org all the way through the roads. It just looks like something that should be in Org all the time.
To say its affecting your gameplay experience is being a little extreme I think.

Not to sound a bit rude .. but how would this in the slightest effect your gameplay ? I see it al lthe time in stormwind .. and it takes me 2 seconds to pass it and forget about it.
