You may or may not be aware that the head of Mythic Entertainment, Mark Jacobs, hates gold sellers. Like, a lot. He's been known to play the part of subscription-loving, RMT-hating traditionalist at conferences in the past. So now that Warhammer Online is out, how do you think he likes the idea of gold farmers in his gameworld? "Not at all" would be an understatement. A testament to this is his most recent blog post, "A banning we will go, a banning we will go."In it, Jacobs explains why he desperately hates 'these jerks', and some of the lengths they're going to get them out of the game. As Jacobs puts it, the Customer Service Reps at Mythic have a 'zero tolerance policy' when it comes to their shennanigans. The RP server Phoenix Throne was the first of their servers to recieve a new innovation: the banhammer message. It's an in-game message stating that a certain character has been removed for the game for 'providing wealth and power to the unworthy.' Players, as a result, can clearly see when goldsellers are kicked from the game. Head over to Jacobs' site for the full details on his crusade against these particularly pernicious capitalists.
