So Blizzard could be posing as all the websites based in China selling WoW gold ? Or are those websites made up of devs that left Blizzard when it was small with backdoor source code to have infinite gold to sell, because the gold has MONETARY value, if everyone in the world played it they would definitely start to barter with the virtual currency. this is just my viewing of where virtual currencies have come after the past 15 years.. I don't ever remember anyone understanding why WoW gold could be of any value since to the average person it was just a video game, but after i explained there is basically a proof of work for wow gold it made sense, aka the time it takes to kill NPC and get the specific RNG amount of gold distributed. You don't see my correlation? lol

Yes, but its the same like the war on drugs when it comes to preventing the sales of gold in the game like that.. hence why websites have made millions and continue to make profit !

Terms of service is the games legality lol

aka you CANNOT control the influx of drugs into the US from Mexico, it can only be mitigated, and 9 out of 10 times they get through.. just like sales of WoW gold against their ToS (legality)

I think without realising it MMOs like WoW probably helped opened the minds of many geeks/gaming types that the number on the computer screen in their little game could have real value if there was demand. Perhaps many people would have looked at Bitcoin in a different light if previous experiences like this had not altered their thought patterns.

Not that everyone involved in Bitcoin plays WoW.

Or do they? 

I don't even... wtf

In a game like Wow one person selling gold to another isn't lowering thier revenue since Blizzard isn't selling WoW gold.

Considering 1k is about 1.0$-1.2$ depending on a realm ( just looked ) and average person can make 1-2k/hour its not much. So I think behind gold selling ( China and so on ) is Blizzard, for them it's not hard to generate random amount of gold to a specific desire. That is why I think gold selling is against the rules, since you are taking their customers...
But again, i might be wrong.

You are correct, they do not like the sales of "THEIR" virtual property, but knowing Blizzard and how profit hungry they are I would not be surprised if they had some sort of correlation between the online sales of Gold. Plus if you get banned for buying selling gold, most likely you will be a gamer that will be willing to purchase another account and not make the mistake again, also increasing their sales, if they wanted to shut down the Asia markets for MMO-RPG games currency they could by easily undercutting the markets and causing the companies to foil. Speculation~

If you truly believe there is a correlation between World of Warcraft gold and Bitcoins... well then I hope you have a lot of Bitcoins to throw into exchanges!

Actually i was being sarcastic
