Ok. I have no idea where else to put this so I decided this was the best place for it. I found someone advertising the selling of Guild Wars currency for real money. I got a nice clear screenshot of it and the name of the person. They also provided a place to go for purchasing this "money".

heh

It's quite funny -- it's not a person -- it's completely automated. Better known as a "bot"

If you've reported em -- it's really all you can do -- it's Anet's move now. But let's face it, if people wish to squander their real money on fake virtual money....who cares..??

Alex, if you see this, I can state for sure that it's a continual problem in the Tombs every evening. Just spend a little time there and you'll find practically one in every district it seems. There's no escaping them.

I'm about ready to turn local off and switch to the trade channel in tombs. You can hardly form a group without spammers cluttering up the chat and scrolling your LFG off the view.

Sounds like how Asc and LA D1 were and may still be. I havent gone to D1 of those areas in about a month cause of the spamming.
