Can I Get Banned For Buying World of warcraft Gold?

Jan. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- I see everywhere places advertising World of Warcraft gold for sale and even some of my friends have recently started buying WoW gold. They say it is a whole lot safer than getting your character powerleveled and I shouldn’t be worried about getting banned for it. My question is can I really get banned for buying WoW gold and if I can what is the odds of them banning my account?

Great question! It really is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to buying gold in World of Warcraft. As always you really need to take caution if you decide to and yes it can get your account banned.

Purchasing gold is against the World of Warcraft Terms of Use (TOS). Here is a tidbit from the main World of Warcraft site about this specifically.

Ownership/Selling of the Account or Virtual Items.

Blizzard does not recognize the transfer of Accounts. You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void. Blizzard owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to all of the content that appears in the Program. You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in the Game, or any other attributes associated with the Account or stored on the Service. Blizzard does not recognize any virtual property transfers executed outside of the Game or the purported sale, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything related to the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell items for “real” money or otherwise exchange items for value outside of the Game.  

As you can see there isn’t any grey area in which you could get around it. Since it can get you banned, what are the odds that it will?

I believe the odds of it getting you banned to be very low as long as you are smart about it. Selling gold and other virtual items is quickly becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. I believe it would take way too many resources in order to ban all the buyers so that is why they seem to be focused on banning mostly the sellers.

I believe you will be ok as long as you don’t purchase insane amounts of gold at one time , choose a reliable wow gold team and you don’t want to do anything in-game that would bring attention to yourself. I know a lot of people that have bought gold many times and have never had a problem with it.

Ultimately the choice is yours so choose carefully. Once i bought gold from wow-gold-team.com several times,  which make me feeling good. Just remember that some of my opinions stated above is not professional advice at all and I will not be held responsible if you do decide to purchase gold and somehow get yourself banned. I had to throw that in there.
