TheWorld of Warcraftgold sellers have long plagued chat channels like general, looking for group, and trade, butDragonflightfans are noticing a strange new way that they’re able to advertise. While manyWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflightfans continue to express their enthusiasm for the latest expansion, others are spotlighting the spamming across different in-game menus. Utilizing the calendar which typically displaysWorld of Warcraftevents, raid resets, guild notifications, and more, gold farmers and boosting communities are getting their messages to level-capped players even more efficiently.
