Yeah, this doesn’t prevent massive cross gold wealth transfers because the people with that amount of money can afford alt accounts via WoW tokens to begin with.
This just stops casual players like me who want to be able to transfer spending money and items to off realm alts.
Massive Blizzard L as usual.
If it worked that way on the PTR, and it doesn’t on the live servers…well, then it’s either bugged or they changed their minds. Guess we’ll find out soon enough which one it is.
It tells you that they still aren’t ready to rollout the whole cross region trading (very likely to introduce mail heuristic tracking).
In person trades operate off the assumption that you have a reason to do trading with that character because of prior interaction or “scratch my back I scratch yours”. RMT operations are not likely to just waltz up to you and just give you millions, especially when it can be tracked that neither character or especially neither account had never made prior content (say for something like they do in classic with gdkp, aka here’s your cut).
Pretty sure the ptr realms are just like connected realms on live.
Mind boggling that they’re not allowing mailing to your alts on different servers nor finishing connecting all the auction houses for all categories, as the way it stands now for an extra sub per month it’s now unlocked some pretty powerful ways to make gold.
I agree. I was against this change until it became clear that mailing was not an option. Let the gold further rain from the sky 
This rule sort of only benefits people with multiple accounts sadly. They can effectively mail stuff by trading tbh.
It really doesn’t matter because all you need is a 2nd account and you can transfer whatever you want to wherever you want.
It worked because all the PTR realms are connected.
PTR realms are connected realms IIRC
How exciting trading 
. I’ll keep waiting on that day they let us mail things.
Yeah and unless there is a cap on trades I can move millions with multiple trades.
This is from Vrak in CS forum.
As far as I know there isn’t a cap.
Yea lol so all the rich people in game that have the second account that sit by the auction house basically. : 3
It got me to reactivate my 2nd account. 
I’ll admit I have had some fun cross-realm AH shopping today. It’s been a blast
I mean, I’d say I’m comfortably middle-class? Mostly I have two accounts to argue with myself during RP.
But now I can trade all my gold that I built up on my Horde characters on WRA to my active characters on MG, yes? Or is it still faction-locked?
Cross Faction trading was already unlocked and now Cross Realm is so it should work.
