Ok this seems to be going on more frequently on my server and I would like to clarify the "legality" so to speak, of this act.

Players are Buying the Warcraft 60-day play time cards and then selling them for in game gold. They are advertising them both in game via /2 and on the forums, offering to both factions. Usual prices are 9-12k gold.

Isn't this essentially the same as buying gold from sites even though blizzard is really the one making the profit?

Heya Forsetinos,
Q u o t e:
Ok. Now that i have a clear answer how do we go about with action being taken upon these individuals?

I have reported several via the realm forums but they have all come back after recieving only a 24 hour forums ban, or in game via "Report Spam".

This just seems like a Slap on the wrist for such a blatant disregard to the TOS and those that are selling them are no different than those buying/selling from gold sites.
Selling in game time cards for in game gold, does violate the Terms of Use, as explained above.

You probably see them coming back after their suspension, because of the system we have in place called the penalty volcano. For additional information on how this works, you can see this here: Please continue to report them, they eventually wont be coming back. Thank you for your help!
