Recent Action Against Real-Money Raid Clears

Recent Action Against Real-Money Raid Clears - World of Warcraft Forums

We’ve recently taken action against a number of accounts that were actively participating in and/or advertising the sale of in-game raid or dungeon clears in exchange for real-world currency. Such behavior is a clear violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.

Of the players affected, many were members of top raiding guilds. We want to be clear that everyone we’ve taken action against had illustrated full knowledge and intent to violate the Terms of Use. Going forward, in order to ensure fair play and competitive integrity, we’ll be monitoring these activities much more closely in order to make sure that the rules are being followed. This includes selling services for real money, account-sharing, and other violations. Note that while selling assistance with obtaining items, achievements, PvP rating, or other in-game benefits for real-world currency is against the Terms of Use, selling those things in exchange for in-game gold is perfectly legitimate. Players should not feel as though participating in a “gold run” is going to result in negative action taken against their account.

If you see people advertising these services, please help us keep the game clean by reporting them. If you’re unsure, here are some common warning signs:

A “broker” is offering to match buyers with service-providers. Commonly, a broker will collect real-world currency from a buyer while offering gold to a guild or group that will actually provide the service.
Someone offering a service is unwilling to discuss terms of payment via in-game tells, and insists on using a non-Blizzard application to communicate.

Also note that Patch 7.2 includes some improvements to our reporting features to add clearer categories for reporting listings in the Premade Group Finder. We’re disappointed to see members of the raiding community participating in behaviors that clearly violate the Terms of Use, and want to be clear that such activities will not be tolerated.

Kommentar von Purgatorywolf Good! There have been loads of groups in the LFR advertising "Selling such-n-such Run: Contact us on Skype at cheatermccheaterpants" Kommentar von regma Nice. Although some that are selling via gold seems shady. :D Kommentar von AeronPeryton If it wasn't bad enough that those adverts are in Trade and General, including the Generals of random zones, I would get whispers from them moments after logging in. At that point, you're asking to be reported. Kommentar von Rilgon Good! There have been loads of groups in the LFR advertising "Selling such-n-such Run: Contact us on Skype at cheatermccheaterpants"Kommentar von Coldpaw Good. I've been using the "BadBoy" add-on but many still slip through.
Glad to hear that we'll have better reporting options in 7.2. Kommentar von warsn The practice of selling runs for real money has become way too prevalent in the last few years and especially the past few months. So happy to see this get cracked down on! Kommentar von Ellore A lot of them are advertising on websites, not in-game. I seriously doubt Blizzard has the resources to troll the internet daily to catch these players, but I wish they would. Kommentar von kragthang It was about time. Curious how that will reflect on the trade spams. Kommentar von SoCalWoWGal Nice. Although some that are selling via gold seems shady. :Din-game services for in-game goldbuyer bewarehere is a Blue Post

That said, I'm concerned that if I pay 35k to these other folks and should they kick us from the raid, bail mid-kill or some other shady nonsense, are we able to recover our gold by filing a ticket with Blizzard?A lot of them are advertising on websites, not in-game. I seriously doubt Blizzard has the resources to troll the internet daily to catch these players, but I wish they would.HACKS REPORT
You may use this form to report exploits, scams, and fraudulent websites to our Hacks Team. Reports received via this form will not receive a response. Kommentar von Oixio i can't wait to see some rivers of tears from elitists of big guilds Kommentar von remotettl its about time. half of russian accounts has been banned, id say. lol. peons finally has done something usefull, but.... blizzard loses loads of money trying avoid this. in long term its not gona change much at all. should follow Sony experience where they took 10% of deal to they pocket and allowed to trade.
great, but in short terms it works. Kommentar von AALANA i guess you are monitoring the dungeonfinder also. Alot of the start with <WTS> and then skype or an URL you have to go to Kommentar von Jevnaker only wts raid thingys i have seen semed to be for gold and not irl currency. problem is that a lot of the premades asks for stuff you can only get in the place they are going to like kara or one of the raids and you can't get to those places withouth doing it with premade which means you can't get into them. Kommentar von rbuffetta "You are correct that Blizzard does not have the resources to scour the internet for these websites."

Yes, they most certainly do. Kommentar von Ashardis Gold selling has plagued this game since early vanilla. I've been reporting them for literally all that time, and while it looks like they haven't done much about it, compared to the levels we used to see, this isn't quite as bad.
Or maybe my BadBoy addon had lessened my exposure to their spam that I think it's less, in which case I will never drop that addon ever :D Kommentar von Jevnaker when i once in a blue moon i see an gold spammer it is always from titanbay or whatever that proper name is and they always uses rogue chars for some reason so it is much better than it was.
