Indirectly or Directly buying n selling gold

#0 - Sept. 10, 2010, 10:27 p.m.

I've tried using the search feature, to no avail, and also looked thru last 5+ pages of this forum.

So my concern is with people offering, say, 5000g to recruit someone, and have that person pay for 2months of their subscription.

This i'm told is a perfectly fine transaction, although not supported.

I consider this directly buying and selling gold.

As person A gives 5000g to person B.
and Person B spends $x to get 4 things, An account, 60 days gametime for themself, 30 days gametime for Person A, and a rocket mount for Person A.

from Person A's perspective, they spent 5000g, for 30 days game time, and a rocket mount, which was purchased by real currency. Gold Selling.

from Person B's perspective, they spent $x, to recieve 5000g. Gold Buying

I acknowledge that my concern, will probably get this thread just telling me to offer it into the suggestion forum, but i'd appreciate a blue's opinion, on why this is not against policy, while giving someone gold, and having them gift a time-card from the wow shop is against the policy.

only difference i can think of, is blizzard gets more money from method a :P
