You have to admire the persistent and inventive stupidity of the gold sellers, who make all this effort to ply their crappy wares.
What's stupid about it?
There is always one isn't there?
Okay, I'll try to explain it in simple terms. It's stupid, because it is an investment of a not inconsiderable amount of time in something that 98% of the community treats with total and utter contempt, and in something that is frequently removed post haste, in the ongoing battle between GM's and gold sellers.
Happy now?

wouldn't it be easy if you made a code who removed any corpses from player due 30 mins then you first log off, meaning you will respawn alive on the closest cementary after that long time.
Seems like an easy solution on the problem bcs it would not be worth the hassel to refill new corpses like that for a gold seller due that short of time, if they still do it just decrease the spawn time to 15 mins.

You know what's funny? In the 3 years I've been playing this game, I've never seen a website spelled out in corpses in a city....and yet one day after I read this thread, I saw one for the first time in Orgrimmar.

This is based on a lot of assumptions, many of which I think would prove to be false. You're magical 98% figure is anecdotal, coming from your experiences most likely here on Wowhead and your guild, which is probably more dedicated then most. But that's a small margin and its obvious that they would scoff at gold sellers.
That says nothing of the millions of other players who aren't as dedicated, have some disposable income, and like the "get rich quick" idea.
And obviously, gold selling is a business for some people. Like any business, if the effort doesn't make the return, the business shuts down. Since these gold sellers persist, they're obviously making a return.
I just find it fascinating that an in-game economy can be strong enough to spawn a real-world economy. I don't find anything stupid about it.

They tried it both on Garrosh Alliance, and Terokkar Horde, as well.
And to the OP, this used to be their most common method back in Pre-BC. This isn't a first, and in fact, I've seen them spell out the name of a website with almost 200 dead bodies, each named something similar relating to the website's name. What they do is set up a bot, the bot makes someone, logs in, flyhacks to Stormwind/Orgrimmar, and shuts it off so they fall to their deaths.
They used to set up a spam bot to advertise a wall of text every 2 seconds. Of course, back in the day, Shamans were able to lay down their explosion totem, and if they logged out within 1 second of it going off, it would go neutral, and attack anything. That was how we dealt with spammers back then. Too bad they fixed it.

Dead bodies everywhere!
Freakin anoying, ugly and stupid, they must be banned for life!
I see dead bodies since 4 months infront Ogr bank.
I do send "report spam" for every gold seller, spaming in chat, but does anyone care about this spam reports? Is there any point of sending reports? What does blizzard do? Anyone got punished for spaming?
Probably i will be the one who will get punished for sending so many spam reports :(

that post was worded so that it made me think of the battle against drugs 98% of peopel are against it and if you think about it it is a good analogy for what is happening with the gold sellers I might be making this too realistic but as soon as I read that post I can't get it out of my mind
More like 49% against, 40% Apathetic, 11% active.
Just making it up, but either in drugs or gold selling, there are more people active in it than you think.
