Devs have enough to do already and we as a close community should be able to deal with stuff like that... just cod the exact same letter back

If your argument is that the Dev's and GM's (I have no idea what else they are 'doing' that they cannot address this...literally their job) are too busy creating a "perfect" server that they should allow the community to become completely toxic and unchecked, then Nostalrius will die in time and there will be nothing to dev for.

Community is like a chair leg. You need all 4 legs, but if one is so short and over looked, the whole chair topples.

In business we call them "Pillars". You do not ignore customer service and retain long term growth unless you have other market forces like oligopolies, monopolies, etc. These ideas are social in nature, ie they apply almost everywhere humans are present in a client/clientel relationship.

he doesn't deserve a ban or a warn.

it's an annoying scam but it's within the rules.

i mean you could punish all those people who randomly list x item for 99 gold on the AH but you don't because they aren't breaking any rules.

The relationship you describe between the AH and the Mailbox are completely different. You're comparing apples to donkeys and it is why such comparisons ought never to be made if you do not want them examined.

YOU solicit the scammer's auction by going to his auction.

The SCAMMER solicits YOU by putting things into your mailbox.


This is what makes it malicious, as it can affect the entire server despite them not performing any action other than automatically getting mail. The mailbox scam is able to hurt much more people much more easily and that is why it should be punished. It's simply in the best interest of doing the most good with the least harm.

sure, it is malicious. but it's within the allowed actions that you can take as a player.

i don't see how you can reasonably punish someone for this.

He is intentionally scamming.

He's running a scam.

He should be punished, for the, you know, scamming.

Scam - verb - gerund or present participle: scamming

see also : swindle.
"a guy that scams the elderly out of their savings"
Synonyms: swindle, cheat, deceive, trick, dupe, hoodwink, double-cross, gull;
Informal: rip off, con, fleece, shaft, hose, sting, bilk, diddle, rook, gyp, finagle, bamboozle, flimflam, put one over on, pull a fast one on, sucker, stiff, shake down, hornswoggle

"he was trying to scam residents with phony insurance policies"









Scamming is bad...punish him.
