BTW your interpretation is how I read the TOS as well. But just because it is against the rules does not mean it will not happen. I have seen people trying to sell Spectral Tiger codes in trade for gold, or asking someone to trade them a time card for gold. On a small scale, it happens. I think it’s too cumbersome for much exploiting.

“Blizzard does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Game, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything that appears or originates in the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell in-game items or currency for “real” money, or exchange those items or currency for value outside of the Game. ”

As the mount code is a real world item, trading it for in-game gold is against the Terms of Use Agreement.

I strongly disagree with you on this one as it would legimitize gold selling.

If such transactions were supported, a gold seller with millions of gold could offer gold in exchange of pont codes and then turn around and then sell the codes for real money, a few dollars cheaper than Blizzard.

The code for dollars, although not supported by Blizzard, is not against the End User Legal Agreement, nor the Terms of Service Agreement.

Heck, I never sold gold but if such schemes were possible, I might ask Blizzard to recover my Suramar banker and its guild bank and see how much real cash I can make with the 600,000 gold I deleted. Solely out of curiosity of course
