Is it legal to trade a game time code for wow gold? I know there are many posts about TCG code tradings for ingame gold, but I cant find a definite answer.

Such a transaction would not be permitted, Applesseed, as it falls under the category of real world items for in-game currency (and vice versa).

Exchange of World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services for non-World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services, and Vice-Versa (Buying/Selling Gold, Items, Characters, and/or Accounts)


Anyone offering World of Warcraft content for sale is attempting to steal from and deceive you, as no one is EVER allowed to sell any aspect of the World of Warcraft MMORPG except Blizzard and its licensees. Blizzard will not recognize the transaction resulting from the seller's prohibited behavior! Attempting to circumvent this rule by selling "the time put into the character" DOES NOT make such a sale legitimate, as the transaction still results in the transfer of World of Warcraft virtual property (which is acknowledged by every player as solely belonging to Blizzard Entertainment and/or its licensors) and in the seller receiving money.



If you've any additional questions or concerns, please let me know! :)

Q u o t e:
The TCG loot cards have a code (RL code) that is turned into an in-game code when you enter it online. The RL code can't be sold for gold, but the in-game code can be.

The game time cards only have a RL code, no conversion to an in-game code, so that is why they're not allowed yet the loot card in-game code is.


You hit the nail on the head. :)
