Yes, in a PvP server. You're not flagged in your starting zone.
Since WotLK, actually.WAY BEFORE cata. It was lifted when they introduced faction change.

the true scam is people spending close to the gold cap for 503 belts or bracers you can get for free by actually killing heroic modes...not to mention, terrace/heart of fear offer even better gear: why spend so much on something that wont be bis for long? get a darkmoon card, much better investment.
10k on a siamese cat carrier, or 500k on bracers, whats the bigger ripoff, if you raid?
few folks got into a bidding was for obsidian hatchling on our server, ended up selling at around 200k+ gold.. unsure who the actual buyer/bidders were but I was rather amazed that people wouldn't check something out first before bidding on it;o

Realm first guilds will buy that gear for progression purposes, cause it's better to have the best possible gear you can get BEFORE you step into a raid. Plus if that item drops again, unless you're the only person who can use it in the raid, it will go to someone else in the raid for a result of 2 near BiS pieces in the raid rather than 1.
I guess BMAH's only use is to stop people from selling gold to Chinese farmers. I wouldn't, because you can only get upwards to $800 with 1 million gold. That's like nothing. Well it is if you have a steady source of income.
"Scams" like this happen on the live AH, too.
I remember selling whichever raptor hatchling was in Breanni's pet store for 2-3x its vendor cost several times before people caught on and it stopped selling.
Heck, I remember seeing people selling stacks of ICC ammo in 100s instead of the full 1000-stack for *slightly* lower prices, and people actually bought those, because they didn't check the number of 0s in the stack size. One of my friends did that a lot. It seemed even more jerk-ish than the hatchling thing, so I never did that.
WoW needed a gold sink badly. While it saddens me to see unique pets/mounts trivialized even further, there is no disputing this as the single most effective gold sink they've ever come up with.
Must we always worry about what other people do with their time?
