An official Blizzard forum post has warned players of the perils of buying World of Warcraft gold from a third party. However, Blizzard’s reminder that you can instead buy gold officially hasn’t gone over well with some in the WoW community.
WoW community manager Kaivax recently reminded players that buying gold from a third-party seller puts a user’s account at risk of being hacked, and that players should protect their account and help to maintain a fair gaming environment by shunning the practice.
“Purchasing gold from other players puts your account at risk of being hacked and supports companies that steal accounts, operate bots, and disrupt the game economy,” Kaivax states.
