I'm confused are you not really upset because you are NOT getting a ton of messages from gold spammers every minute your in game? are you? lol
You will be happy to know the spammers are alive and well in the US server...can't speak to the EU, but I think things have actually increased since Metal came out. Maybe hoping to capitalize on some returning players who want to play catch up. I'm back to ignoring 5-6 a day per toon just to run my dailies and visit the WT for a minute. Reinheld
