Argument: Safe Gold Transfers

[Perditions]

Recently, a friend of mine and I unexpectedly went into a rather heated argument over his new idea concerning World of Warcraft. Since neither he nor I can come to agreement over who is correct, I decided to turn to these Forums.

My friend argues that one could buy two accounts. Let's call them A and B. The A account contains all your main and alt characters. The B account contains only a level one Gnome standing in Ironforge.

To continue, he believes that you could buy gold (from a website, presumably), and have that gold mailed to the Gnome loitering around account B. Once the Gnome has the gold, it is mailed to a character on account A.

I believe that the owner of account A would be banned (permanently or temporarily) for buying gold. My friend argues that, since the gold was bought by account B, only the random Gnome account has the possibility of being banned. And Blizzard can do nothing to account A, even if it is clear where the gold ended up.

Who is correct and why?

Logic ftw

Both accounts could be banned. If they ban account that bought the gold they would obviously know it transferred the bought gold to another account. Esp if you're paying for both it's rather obvious that you know what's going on


Also, you'll finds that the mods and community here isn't tolerant of gold buying - gold is easy in TBC... get it like everyone else... earn it.

Gold threads from First time posters make me squirm. Expect a mod to slma down on this...and I hope people doing it get caught and their arse banned

No, not buying it. No pun intended.
