Are Blizzard still monitoring gold buying strictly?

[Punkinator]

A year or two back I made a purchase for 20k Gold and got an Email from blizzard telling me how Purchasing gold was bad for the game etc, basically a slap on the wrist.

Moneymaking in WoD is an absolute nightmare so Im leaning towards buying more, so my question is, are they still as strict? Has anyone received one of these emails recently, or a ban?

Are you serious?

It's the easiest expansion to make TONS of gold.

And yes, they will see stuff. You COULD use your brain to aquire gold, trade something get gold in return, C.O.D something, get gold in return... Common sense

It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.

Yes, they still take it serious.

I made over like 40k ish since launch just from my garrison, picking things up & from questing.

During the Cata and Mop time, my accounts would constantly get busted and receive the warning email from Blizzard which reads exactly like this: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...-blizzard.html (Buying gold, flagged = ingame mail from blizzard ?)

I think the chance back then was about 5% to 10% per transaction, especially if the gold seller whom I buy from is, perhaps, flagged by Blizzard.

Nowadays in WoD, I still constantly buy gold. If you run raids/guilds you would know. It just costs you so much. But I have NEVER got flagged/banned again since WoD launch. Why? Well, I think one is luck. Two is that there must have been so many people buying gold since WoD and Blizzard's enforcement doesn't reach so widely.

So if you want to buy gold, buy it now and don't buy too much (<100,000) at one time. Hopefully so many large amount gold transactions during this time would bury yours from Blizzard's sight.

Bought 50k from lechris291 for a friend just before WoD and neither of our accounts got anything.

while 250k gold is very nice, don't get your hopes up. if you're making a lot of gold by crafting items on all your alts, these items will soon drop to 5k-ish price. but if you have a lot of barns and therefore savage blood, you can still make gold by crafting upgrades.

Just farm the iron docks for 665 boes.

I get a minimum of 1 a day and doing it for about 5 hours a day.

The shield has dropped for me twice and sells for around 150-200K the rest will get around 50k+.


If you played your cards right pre expansion and got ready you should be a millionaire since money making is so easy at start of expansions.

Seems like I am not good in making gold :P Sitting at 2k right now and I have no idea how to make some ^^
