Selling gold carries, "unsuported actions"

[Xeh.-]

So basically a lot of ppl been selling garrosh kills for gold for ppl to get heirloom weapons.

This is a pure gold transaction and nothing else, not selling for real life money or anything and a GM still said its a "unsuported action"

What kind of action can be taken to your account for this?

Ppl been selling gold carries for EVERYTHING in the game since day 1 basically.... from pvp (non pilot) to raiding kills, gear, challenge mode, everything in game basically.

It isn't against the rules and therefore there really isn't any action they will take against you for doing it. That being said if you do get scammed they won't refund your gold as it is considered an unsupported method of trade and therefore the burden falls on you.

It means if someone is scammed during it, they won't get involved, that's all.

I lost around 200k gold so far from ppl not paying for carry (I take gold after kill because I am legit and dont play with ppl's trust) and I am not complaining because I know its that way.

When they say it's unsupported, they mean it is a transaction strictly between players. And buyer beware.

If a player pays up front, for a heroic kill to get a heirloom, but the raid fails to kill Garrosh, Blizzard isn't going to refund the gold costs.

They won't ban or suspend your accounts.

Exactly what has already been mentioned. A GM will not reimburse your gold if you get scammed is all. They won't punish any party for doing it either if its' legit. That's all there is to it =)

That is good, I feel way better and kinda knew this but more comments saying the same is good.

That GM doesn't know what they're talking about. As long as something doesn't involve real money it's fine.

You don't know what you're talking about...the GM never said it was against the rules, he said it was an unsupported action...which it is.

I haven't heard of anyone getting actioned for doing carries PVE or PVP.

He said actions can be taken into my account also, what about that?

Anyone?....

There are no rules against this, and don't believe otherwise. Gold for services in WoW is perfectly allowed, including carry runs, and in fact if you both do an official statement of the transaction in chat and agree on it then you can report either party if they don't go through with their end of the bargain.

[Adoxe]

It means that you will not be banned or anything but they'll not support you if you or the person you're boosting gets scammed. I.e they won't give the money back. There's nothing else that can happen, the GM you spoke to was clearly misinformed on this topic which is not that unusal.

My guess is that if you take someone's gold and then say fuck off, that could be considered harassment.

If the transaction goes off without a hitch and someone pays you and you get the kill and the customer walks off happy with their heirloom...everything's fine.

I doubt it has anything to do with the action itself but more around the behavior of the people involved.

[Jingoism]

I can personally confirm that they give the "unsupported action" schtick and basically tell you to go fuck yourself. I would resort to naming/shaming the person on the forums/in trade/to their guilds as it's a far more effective way to get someone back, because Blizzard will not help you unless a GM is feeling like doing some actual work(never).

[TheTaurenOrc]

If you make enough money from it the GM's will get mad and stop you.

You do not want GM Ringullio after you.

And you think they'd care?

Means, it is permitted. But if you scam them of gold or they scam you from gold - it is on your own hands.

No trolling bro, no trolling.

So you took gold after a carry for something and got scammed by the buyer, it is not "playing with someones trust" To take say...at least half the gold up front, it is normal...
