It's tempting for players of World of Warcraft to skip the hard work of earning their own virtual currency, gold, and to search online for world of warcraft gold selling websites.
After all, you bought the game, you already paid for the game and for the monthly subscription, so you feel you want to start playing straight away. How frustrating when you discover the best rewards, weapons, and armor are too expensive to buy in the Auction House. Unfortunately the websites that promote warcraft gold buying are the worst way of dealing with that frustration.
The company who makes WoW have warned many times that the websites are run by scammers. The sites are designed to encourage you to give the strangers, and remember they are strangers, your name, email, address, credit card details, warcraft account name and password. Shiny web graphics encourage you to feel comfortable with the so-called service, and to give as much as possible, compromising not just your own account, but also giving away your own financial details. You simply leave yourself open to fraud.
A large number of world of warcraft accounts that are hacked, or compromised in security, are those which have been previously identified by the gold sellers. These gold sellers case your account prior to hacking it, and take note that you are lax with security, and would also be less likely to contact Games Masters for help. After all, you just bought gold which is against the terms of use.
Naturally, if the Games Masters, the customer services desk of World of Warcraft, discovered you had bought gold, your account will be closed. Bans come in waves, so you can never be certain and relax about whether you have got away with your deception. Don't risk losing your game because you wanted to take a shortcut.
The gold that you buy from the gold sellers is often taken from these hacked accounts in the first place. It's likely that your purchase will come from the pockets of another player from where it was stolen.
The other way that gold sellers can get gold to sell you is from farming, using illegal "bots" which exploit the program to create massive amounts of raw materials which then flood the Auction House and server economy and change the value of all items in the game in a domino effect.
Buying world of warcraft gold is not okay. You could be stealing from other players, you could lose your account either to the game masters or to the gold sellers, and you will destroy your own server economy.
