Hello, i posted this in general chat and didnt really get a answer so im posting it here thanks!

Lately, i have been noticing someone selling Recruit a friend mounts in trade for about 10k gold. Obviously how it works is you recruit them, and they pay for the 2 months on the spot, thus u redeem it and trade them the gold. Now this seems like its not against any rules..but im not sure, i wanted to check first. IMO its not selling cash for ingame currency because your actually paying 10k for the mount itself, similar to how you can sell the ingame TCG loot codes for gold. Could i get a GM response please? thanks

I am very sorry, Kateriaa, from looking into the conversation you had with the Game Master it seems there was a great deal of misunderstanding on the GM's part.

To correct what was said. No, it is not Ok to purchase gold for real world money, it remains a violation of our Terms of Use and can result in the permanent closure of an account. This matter will be corrected. Thank you.
