WoW Spam

If you didn't know, my World of Warcraft account was hacked in November. No I did not buy gold, or have a keylogger. I believe the tried a few times to get into my email account because I got a few messages on my BlackBerry that my account was not working.

I logged into check it out and find an email about my WoW password being changed. Bad times....

I have a token now that gives me a special code to log in, and I changed my WoW email to one that is only used for WoW. I don't worry about being hacked, and try not to panic when I get an email about my email not working.

Anyhow, the point I was getting to was the fake WoW phising spam. I was getting one or two every couple of weeks. Fake emails claiming to be from the WoW team and needing information, or log into a site. Well, it was coming to my old WoW email address, clearly not really from Blizzard. I have been forwarding them on to Blizzard.

However the pace has skyrocketed. I am now getting several a day. Its really quite annoying.

So phising spammers, get lost you evil people. Stop trying to feed off of others by stealing their information. Its just wrong.

Now that I have that off my chest, I think I am quitting WoW, again. Maybe it will be another break. But I think tonight with the Wintersgrasp incident I am done.

I like Wintersgrasp, however its hard to get into because it only happens every couple of hours and you don't know when it will be exactly as its based on when the last one finished.

I was excited after a rough day to see it was about to happen, I log in, get the quests, get started. Later as we were defending I start to have very bad lag, and the game kicks me out. No big deal, just annoying. Until I log back in, and I'm in the middle of nowhere and marked so that the other side can attack me.

Ok, fly back to the battle. Oh no, I'm no longer in queue, and the game is full. I have to wait. Wait until never as it ends before I can get back in and collect my reward.

I have had enough I think. I have better things to be worried about. Sadly even quiting probably won't make the spam go away.
