Ok i didn't see anything related to this, so i posted this new thread.
When i logged in today i was met with a few links of Cata items from my friend. They were level 78-81 greens that he somehow got, and he said that he asked a GM and the GM said that he wouldn't get in trouble for getting these new items even though the expansion hasn't released yet.
So i guess i have 2 questions, can he actually get in trouble for it and how exactly did he get the items?
