How to kill annoying Goldspammers!

Izriul from Laughing Skull made an interesting post on the official forum, how to kill Gold Sellers with the Shaman Fire Nova Totems (see the original post here). The basic idea is, that totems become neutral for a splitsecond, once their owner logs off just before they disappear. If you time the Fire Nova Explosion for the brief periods where the totem will be neutral it will deal damage to allied players.

Testing it I found out that it works best for me to type /camp, but not to hit enter until yata (yet another totem addon) shows 1.6 seconds remaining. Then I hit enter and will be logged out a few miliseconds later, leaving my neutral totems on the ground. Depending on your latency it should work roughly the same for you.

I put up a short demonstration video (5mb) for you:

  • Probably counts as exploiting/greifing, be careful to not get banned :)

  • Well there have been reports that people were banned for 3h using this against normal players. I’d be quite upset myself and report such a player. But if you are friendly and only try to kill the goldspammers, then it is quite fun.
    On Ravencrest the spammers suddenly became active and ran away from the Shamans. When other palyers saw that they followed and we became a crowd of like 30 people driving the spammers out of Stormwind /spit and /shoo them away. They were cussing in Chinese but logged off then :-) Spammers, Players 0:1
