"Warcraft as it stands is beginning to look seedy, stale and players are sick to death of continual gold spamming, the abuse of the trade channel, the abuse of the pre-made system for battlegrounds and the very fact that Blizzard refuse whatsoever to deal with cheats and exploiters in their thirst for money and accounts."

You're right, but nothing stands there in between trade channel and gold spammers in other games as well. That goldseller in question will get banned in those 'zero-tolerance' games, but (s)he'll get his/her message through: Buy gold.





"At the end of the day, what Blizzard need to grasp is that we are being expected to pay for inferior service and an inferior product."

Yep, I agree with you. if game as old as this, World Of Warcraft, can't get rid of even such as small annoyances as goldselling, spamming and abusing, there's something wrong.





"And the two biggest beefs at the moment on our server Thunderhorn (EU) are gold spammers and pre-made Alterac Valleys where cheaters are being actively hidden in those from Stormscale and Blizzard have failed to remove one proven cheat. "

AV premade enabler is not a cheat. It's not a third party program, nor it automates the gameplay in any way. It just throws your party into some of the open AVs and there we go, a premade.

Same things can be achieved through, for instance, pressing "Alterac Valley 1". Your premade will get into same instance once it's open.
