Is carrying for gold allowed

[Bladeforhire-malganis]

I’m under the impression it’s not allowed but I see so many people advertising it that I wanted to check.

Is it allowed for gold?
Is it allowed for real money?

I’d this is in the wrong chat sorry, feel free to move it where ever.

With restrictions:

Individuals and guilds selling items and profession services for gold is allowed but can only be advertised in-game through the Trade chat channel.

Individuals and guilds selling boost or assistance in raiding, dungeon, or PvP activities for gold is allowed but can only be advertised in-game through the Trade Services chat channel.

In-Game Advertising

New Services Advertisement Policy

This week the 9.2.7 update introduces the new chat channel: Trade (Services). The Trade (Services) chat channel is used for searching and advertising services like raiding, dungeons, or PvP activities, keeping the original Trade chat channel available for traditional buying and selling of items and profession services. With the separation of trade services into its own chat channel, a new policy will take place. Any boosting, carrying, or other similar services offered for gold that’s advertise…

Boosting/RMT advertising

That would not be fine. To provide more clarity for those who have been wondering where the lines are drawn in this new policy, we’d like to summarize that part of it. Advertising for gameplay activities should be done by a WoW player-character who intends to participate in the gameplay activities. This means there should be no cross-realm advertising, and there should be no advertising from non-participating players. And as before, the only place that advertising a “for gold” activity is al…

Absolutely not!!

Selling in-game items and services such as carries or boosting for real money is not allowed.

Ok so the guilds offing M+ and raid runs are good. Understood thanks.

And buying these runs is also acceptable.

I always assumed it was hardcore not allowed.

Thanks for the info.

A huge, HUGE red flag that it is not a legitimate carrier is if the advertiser is a level 1 or level 10. The ones advertising must be participating in the run, so just on that alone the advertiser must be a level 70. That always helps to weed out a lot of the bots/cheaters/illegitimate sales.

Its also do at ur own risk blizzard wont return the gold if it goes south they will take the gold from the guild and punish acordingly if a scam was found to be accurate.

Another red flag is if they are advertising in any channel other than Trade Services. That is the ONLY channel they are allowed to advertise in.

I’d just like to touch on this. While Blizzard allows players and guilds to sell carries and boosts for gold, it is still a unsupported transaction. If things were to go wrong, you don’t get the desired or advertised result, or it turns out to be a scam, Blizzard will not refund your gold or make you whole again. You do these at your own risk so it’s good to make sure you do your due diligence and make sure the person or guild selling the service is reputable.

And only because i have not seen it yet, only comminicate about said runs in game.

Another huge flag is being referred to Discord etc. You absolutely want the terms of the run laid out within a means for Blizzard to see in their own logs.

As memtioned, scams will not be reimbursed, however it much easier to punish if the terms are clear and accessable via logs if it indeed truly is a scam.
