The fact of the matter is, there are many companies out there catering to players looking at buying gold in World of Warcraft. Many of these companies are very shady. It is against Blizzard's terms of service (TOS) to sell game property, including gold, and these companies have built an entire business doing just that. If these companies are willing to treat Blizzard unfairly, what makes you think that they would treat you fairly? Well, a lot of them would not. When buying gold in World of Warcraft, players do not realize that most of this gold comes from hacks and exploits that steal from other players. This could be anyone in the game, including you. Also, players that do business with these companies are also targeted for future hacks. Unfortunately, that's not the worst of it. Players have also reported having their identities or credit card numbers stolen when buying gold in World of Warcraft. This can take years to repair on your credit report. Ask yourself, is a flying epic mount worth years of repairing my finances in real life? I don't think it is.
