    everyone and i mean everyone buys gold in WOW. and they buy much more than you probably do. so i don’t think there’s much for you to worry about. blizzard needs to understand no matter what, there’s too many people who buy gold to stop it. pancake

    as long as you don’t go buying huge amounts (like going from 2K to 50K very, very quickly), you’re probably ok. Aklyon

    I have bought gold plenty of times in WoW.

    At one point, I used to buy on behalf of all my friends and a few guildies since my account had a large buyers discount.

    I always requested they sent the gold to a level 1 alt, then as soon as I got the gold, trade it to a friend (dont mail it) and have them trade it back as soon as you log your main. once it is done, delete your level 1 char. KAREN N

    I say it’s not worth risking all the time and effort you put into getting to Lvl 80 and getting the things you already have. Seth B

    You have to remember that this is a virtual world, servers that log all activity. It is not difficult to track where gold came from and track down who ended up with it.

    I would imagine that you could fall through the cracks, as long as you don’t make a habit of it. But all it takes is for your seller to become sloppy and get noticed. Malik L
