All I see in trade and the lfg tool is people selling runs. They say gold only, but it seems to be getting out of hand.

Report the askers, leave /2, or ignore them.
Posting in GD doesn’t do anything more than reporting the sellers would.
Join a dead realm and you don’t get them!!

In the end though blizzard will do nothing about it because, if they are asking for gold that is making people buy wow token which puts more money in activiblizz pockets.

Just report them and move on.
actually selling em in /1 or /2 is fine.
i think only thign blizz made report-able are group finder selling runs. (as they clog the system)

I used to report them when they ask you to go to another website to sign up or something like that. I have not seen that lately. Selling a service like that is not new to WoW at all. Before LFG was added I remember people paying for runs through dungeons for cloth, or xp runs. I do believe it was nerfed eventually.
I know selling runs for in-game gold is fine, it doesn’t violate the ToS. I just wanted to give OP the ability to deal with this in-game isntead of the forums.
I personally don’t care if they sell runs (its supply and demand) but i hate trying to find a grp in party finder and they refresh their post to the top to sell 10 time a minute, its just frustrating when party finder has more runs for sale than for pugs
Advertising runs once in a while is fine, but I had to finally report someone a week ago for spamming. Constant flood of the exact same 3 line text message, in General, multiple times, while another conversation trying to help a new player was taking place and being drowned out. I mean come the heck on, we saw your wall of text the first time bro.

That is an improvement over what normally gets said in Moonguard trade chat.

Advertising in trade is the valid mechanism they are supposed to use. In the lfg tool, feel free to right click report for advertising.

They are not though. Most of those people posting in /2 have automated whisper responses that tell the person that whispered them to contact a person on discord. Messaging the person on discord results in another automated message that reveals the prices with absurd gold prices and cheaper USD prices.
Half those people in trade are bots redirecting people to twitter in some half baked ideology that it will protect them from getting banned for selling runs for real cash.
Spoilers, it doesn’t.
There are those out there who are legit, but there is a serious issue in terms of these run sellers who sell for cash.
Why would you report them for not breaking a rule?
I am guessing for spam.
As long as it is for gold it doesn’t violate any rules, but if they do it for cash like Byucknah said then it does.
