Peons4hire sued by Blizzard

In addition to the new gold spam report feature introduced in patch 2.1.0, Blizzard has also decided to file a federal lawsuit against one of the largest gold selling companies, Peons4hire. The lawsuit required them to "immediately cease all in-game spamming efforts by all entities and websites under their control." It was also said that if they refuse to act accordingly, further legal action will be taken.

With this organization pretty much out of the way, hopefully Blizzard will take similar actions against the other companies that have been recently plaguing WoW.

    This is fantastic news. I hope they can get all of these idiot companies spamming and disrupting our game time to shut down completely.

    I almost never get spammed by peons4hire on my main server, usually by some other ones I have never heard of. But I did know they were a big gold selling site. It's about time Blizzard is doing something about it.
