Nothing prevents it. Thats sorta the issue.
Its pretty unrealistic to expect otherwise. But if you have realistic solutions I am sure they’d be interested.
RMT is only an offense because Blizz doesn’t get a cut. By buying a token, then exchanging the gold from the sale of the token, you’re essentially doing the same thing, but Blizz makes $20.
Buy a token, sell token, use gold from sale of token to buy boost/run.
No, they can do something and have in the past. Honorbuddy used to be the #1 bot service where anyone can run it on thier client. Blizzard shut the website down completly. Yes it didnt stop all bots but it did have a signifacnt impact for sometime before other bots not associated with a website business to make a comeback.
Blizzard can easily make this company website sweat and pay hefty fines to the point they shut down.
Like what
Depends where the website is set up.
Blizzard does not control the internet.
You quoted me asking like what then quoted the exact answer. Why?
Yes blizzard does not own the internet, but they have a solid tos contract that this website keeps ignoring, funny thing is honorbuddy was doing the same thing. Offering products that were against blizzards tos. They took honorbuddy to court and won after having to juggle the usa/german courts as honorbuddy was based in germany.
So yes, blizzard can sue this website for them offering a service or a product against blizzards tos. Blizzard can shut down all these boost websites easily after honorbuddy trial. But they find it cheaper to ban the few they catch using the service rather then keeping off the game entirely.
Edit: this website is in london. But does not mean blizzard cant sue them still as honorbuddy was from germany
You’ll get flagged on here just for having a different opinion
I am not sure going to court in a dozen different countries is what I would call easy
I disagree. Will I get flagged?
I feel like if any services are being sold in the game, via gold or money, people should be banned. I also feel like you 100% should have known better and I don’t know anyone who’s needed clarification on “don’t buy wow gold” 
If scammed, report it to Bliz. Yes, it’s unsupported, and no, you won’t get your gold back. But if proven to be a scam, the scammers will be actioned.
We don’t have downvotes?

You act as if you don’t know that Blizzard can track literally everything that happens in-game. They know where all your gold comes from; how much comes from tokens, how much comes from AH transactions, and how much comes from that shady account with wonky access patterns.
So the trick is your trading a token for gold in game, your not really selling it TBH, so that’s why it’s considered legal to do.
As for why they crack down on RMT sales it presents a conflict of interest for blizzard, along with the fact that those gold sellers tend to use bots. Which in turn inflates the amount of gold being generated and present in the economy which does a lot of harm and leads to prices steadily inflating like they are currently. In which the traditional methods of gold generation, being questing and selling gathered items. Can’t keep pace and in turn really screws up the economy for the legitimate players that don’t participate in RMT.

It isnt a bunch, im specifically speaking of the 1 website based in london called playcarry…
I dont care about the websites that dont post in game, i dont care about the people posting in trade chat as this is not a botther with addons to block it.
But this 1 website is always advertising in lfg group listings and blizzard still has not done anything about them.

I hate to be a disbeliever, but is that true? Or is this a post to use an excuse to do the whole “giving money to Blizzard for tokens is pay for boosts with money” route?
If you are clever enough to pay ingame for boosts with gold, and you are clever enough to know that:
and
you obviously know both are wrong and not permitted.
Then why would you need an explanation of what is allowed or not allowed? I would have thought that makes it quite clear. And why would you need an explanation regarding tokens?
