I’m happily playing my preferred flavor of the weak week opiate for the nonreligious masses, when I receive a party request. (We irresponsible bastards are playing World of Warcraft here at The Corporation. What stone have you been under?). Ok, sure. It’s probably some Celestial SweatTooner wanting to sell me gold or something, fine. *Click* Party Joined. In Party chat the following comes across: “You sukc. Stop being a n00b and download the program that lets you select your stats: www.urlofproggie.com.” (Or something very similar… the typo is all I really remember outside of the url and being called a noob.) The hell? Then the toon drops the party.
This is on my first active character since just before Burning Urination Crusade came out, but hell, I can’t let this go unpunished. I may not be the fastest leveler on the planet or catass my life away, but calling me a n00b is way out of line. (Besides I just soloed a mob three levels above me, so my n00bery is in severe question.) /page GM.
GM is summoned and I explain what was up and get assurances that it will be taken care of. GM Flunderfoozle is sicced on the little shitstain and I go back to leveling.
Two days later, I am wandering around Ghostlands, ganking the undead when I get a party request. *Click* rinse, repeat. Same message, same typo. LAZY CHEATERS? Not only is the game TOO MUCH WORK for them, apparently typing their own messages is WAY too much work. GM is summoned, times his arrival until my party is getting mobbed by a bunch of red mobs. Damn it. Kill the mobs, deal with GM and head out with party. GM SunderSloozle assures me that all will be taken care of etc…
Last night. I am working on an alt toon, relaxing before dinner. Party invite, *click* SAME GODDAMN MESSAGE. Fine. GM Summoned, dinner ready before GM is available. This morning I get nice form letter from GM Stormwoozle assuring me that all will be taken care of etc… and decide that the ball is in my court to kick this guy in the nuts a little.
I went to the site which redirected to another site and I got to watch lots of videos about how you can set god mode or set your health. Lovely. Even if it’s a scam and the guy is just stealing money, it is still an annoyance and he needs to get the boot.
Bang, go to ARIN and do a WHOIS. Ah ha! The little mattress stain you can blame for this is:

Oh Darn did I just copy/paste that? Well damn. I better go get a bucket and a mop and clean it up.
ACTUALLY, NO, I WILL NOT.
I am going to leave it up here and I would love each of you to go subscribe this individual to every single pr0n, spam, or whatever mailing list possible. However, I don’t think that would be nice (and it would be questionable in its legality.) So I would like you to something less malicious. Please send the nice man a letter and tell him to stop trying to ruin games for people who want to play World of Warcraft without asshattery and cheating.
It’s a fun, immersive world and honestly, it’s not THAT hard to be good at it. All it takes is a little time.
I don't feel the need to discuss it with you so go talk about Beer instead.
