I have a couple of issues with the above email... I honestly dont know where to start... first if he has really researched RogueSpot at all he would have seen the NO GOLD logo on our site. Perhaps he didnt know exactly what that means though? Ill let it slip. Spell checker and grammar checker work great at removing broken english. Also 1 year of experience in the MMO market is not exactly anything to boast about. Additionally since your current site is so successful that is straining your infastructure you think it is wise to advertise on my site and pull in additional traffic?
Also,we have another good idea
This has to be the best line of the whole thing... just one question? Whats the first good idea? Up until now gold farmer offers have been relatively non existant at RogueSpot. I always assumed it was the no gold advertisement that kept them away! Obviously my good luck could not last forever as it was only a matter of time before a gold farmer that did not speak english happened across this site.
My official response is this:
I don't make deals with GOLD FARMERS!If you need a voice to put to this statement use the disney movie the "Emperors New Groove" im sure you can figure out which line im refering to.
If you run a fan site and have been approached by gold farmers / sellers or are worried about paying for the hosting of your site. Please contact me or one of the Azzor Community Admins. Also check out
