If you have seen the adverts stating WoW gold for sale you've probably been tempted. So is it worth buying gold and saving yourself some hours? First lets see what the official position is - it is quite clear from the terms of service that Blizzard states that buying or selling any in-game item like gold or items is a breach of that agreement. In practice they are likely to take selling more seriously than the buyers. A statement from Blizzard is below



If you are found to be selling in-game property (such as coins, items, or characters), for real money, you will lose your characters and accounts, and Blizzard Entertainment reserves its right to pursue legal action against you as well.

Fairly heavy - it is likely they are less severe on the buyers but you still risk a minimum of suspension of account for a period of time but maybe deletion. Is losing you account worth a few extra gold - your choice. Of course it's only a game and if you want to risk your character buying some extra WoW gold it might be worth it to you.

It's best to steer clear of all these sites - it's a game don't get too serious. Buying WoW gold can actually cause problems in this stupid game we all love!
