    Buying time cards with gold is against the ToS correct?

    Some guy is selling a 180 day time card for 30k gold, but im 99% sure thats against the terms of service. Would i be correct?

    Yes it is.
    Report the person, and Blizzard will handle it.

    This is a bit old, but I believe it still applies (scroll down to the blue posts). Short version: correct, that is against the ToS. You're probably not likely to get caught if you just trade with friends/guildies, but if you're standing around in Stormwind/Org screaming "GAME TIME FOR GOLD PST" or similar, you're asking for a ban.

    Even if it wasn't i wouldn't buy it.
    He probally bought it with stolen creditcard info and when the chargeback occurs the gametime gets removed.
    It's the same thing with level 1 chars selling blizzstore mounts for 15k.

    60 days is $30 it's just someone in hongkong VPNing onto US servers using compromised cards(most likely the crd #'s from people who bought gold from him) to resell that gold to someone else. i dont see anyone in their right mind giving you $90 worth of gametime for $30 worth of gold...

    again "if it sounds too good to be true, that's because it is."

    i'd love paying 6 months of gametime with 1 day of AH, but it's against the ToS

    the general rule is: you cannot trade ingame goods with IRL goods
    the only exception is IRL to ingame, limited to TCG stuff and the little BoE pet from the Blizz store

    As everyone stated, it is against the TOS and thus against our rules to discuss it here. If you see it, report it to Blizzard.
