Comments on: Can I Get Banned For Buying WoW Gold? http://www.askapadwe.com/23/can-i-get-banned-for-buying-wow-gold/ WoW Help Site | World of Warcraft Help Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:09:39 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gandalf the Rainbow http://www.askapadwe.com/23/can-i-get-banned-for-buying-wow-gold/comment-page-1/#comment-34775 Gandalf the Rainbow Fri, 21 May 2010 19:20:56 +0000 http://www.askapadwe.com/23/can-i-get-banned-for-buying-wow-gold/#comment-34775 As soon as something becomes banned, there will arise an Underground market for it. Weed is illegal in Canada, but you can smell it being smoked everywhere. HAHA Blizzard has to understand that by saying something is banned, it creates a desire to have it. I got a purple whisper message to me from some Blizz-Bot saying something about the trade currency violation or some crap, however i've never done a gold purchase before, so it scares me that they are pointing fingers blindly. Worst of all I couldn't whisper back to defend myself. Damn Elitist A-Holes, they're so filthy rich ALREADY ! Spread the wealth around your TYRANTS !

I bought it twice and was banned the second time. Losing a character I was working with for years was a bit of bummer. I think the answer for the situtaion is for Blizzard to have servers dedicated to customers who are willing to pay for gold. Everyone on it can buy what they like from Blizzard, and no one therefore is considered to be cheating other's gameplay in any way. Anyone caught doing so on the other servers is moved to the gold buying servers. Although a great game all around,there are times when it gets really drawn out and for the sake of entertainment (which what this is about of course) you want to move on to something new and more interesting. Often you need gold to do that. Buy having "legalized" gold buying servers Blizzard makes more money and theoretically should be happy and people who want to play they game their own way are happy. EA games Battlefield Hero is a good example of that model. I was also banned for buying gold (from a reputable site). I bought it twice and was banned the second time.

So, even though neither the ToS or EULA specifically mention buying gold, that doesn't mean they cannot suspend you for it.
