Polina and Mikord pretty much sum up my thoughts on the OP's idea. Trust me, if a mod starts spewing adverts (of any kind), then I will move to muzzle it fast even if it means hunting down the offending Lua code and commenting it out/nuking it. If some other's player mod is what is spewing the spam, then that player gets to join my Ignore list if they don't muzzle their mod. There is enough "noise" in game before the start of a raid/BG that I don't any more.

To sum it up, the OP's idea = Bad idea.
