You will never play WOW again. Prepare for weeks of withdrawal symptoms ranging from watching endless WOW vids on youtube, pleading desparately with the mods to allow you back on, to actual physical sickness, the shakes, and an overly agressive attitude toward anyone who talks about WOW in your presence.
Seriously, I don’t even play, but from what I’ve seen that’s what you should expect.
no, cause you already have it.
Taken from the Blizzard Support site:
Exchange of World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services for non-World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services, and Vice-Versa (Buying/Selling Gold, Items, Characters, and/or Accounts)
Anyone offering World of Warcraft content for sale is attempting to steal from and deceive you, as no one is EVER allowed to sell any aspect of the World of Warcraft MMORPG except Blizzard and its licensees. Blizzard will not recognize the transaction resulting from the seller’s prohibited behavior! Attempting to circumvent this rule by selling “the time put into the character” DOES NOT make such a sale legitimate, as the transaction still results in the transfer of World of Warcraft virtual property (which is acknowledged by every player as solely belonging to Blizzard Entertainment and/or its licensors) and in the seller receiving money.
CONSEQUENCES:
Any evidence uncovered by Support investigations that the account has been involved in the exploitation of the World of Warcraft Economy by purchasing currency, items, characters and/or accounts may result in:
* Removal of any World of Warcraft content that was purchased from anyone other than Blizzard Entertainment. Note that the sale of existing accounts, currency, items, and characters, or any aspect thereof, is not presently offered by Blizzard or its licensees, nor is the availability of such services foreseen.
* Immediate Account Closure of any account found to have been transferred from the registered user to anyone else. Blizzard Entertainment neither recognizes nor permits the transfer of accounts.
Any evidence uncovered by Support investigations that the account has been involved in the exploitation of the World of Warcraft Economy by selling currency, items, characters, and/or accounts may result in immediate account closure.
You should be hoping that the only thing they do is delete your gold. That is probably the best you can hope for. Since you got caught, they could just delete your character.
They caught the transaction (probably caught on to the account that transacted with you in the Auction House). They have the gold amount that you recieved and would just remove it from your account
The real question is why didn’t you have thepatience to farm the gold yourself?
Realistically any amount of gold you buy won’t feel as gold you earn yourself.
Gratz on being lazy and getting caught.
