We’ve recently completed a round of actions taken against accounts that were found to have participated in spending real money on gold provided by a third party (RMT). Some of the accounts actioned purchased the illicit gold and had the seller deliver it to a different player who provided a service to the purchaser, such as a raid carry.
Please be reminded that gold received from an intermediate player has an extremely high likelihood of being illicit gold that was part of an RMT. To avoid actions such as account suspension and the removal of illicit gold, players should always directly transfer gold from the player buying the carry (or other activity) to the player providing the carry.
Guilds that provide carries to players, who pay for them with gold that comes from an intermediate, are at risk of seeing that gold removed by Blizzard.
No, I disagree. Since people are going to do the paid carries, it’s best if they do it through Blizz services.
I know many like to say Blizzard is being greedy, etc.. and blah blah but the fact is that if it’s done through them, then there’s something they can do about it if it goes sideways instead of the nothing they can do about it if the player gets ripped off.
No go. Ban the Carry groups and the people paying for the carry. It’s a terrible culture to nurture in a game where gear achievement is the primary goal by design.
