With regards to the WoW story we ran yesterday, Kotakuite Jesse pointed out that buying gold, characters or even sex violates Blizzards terms of service and could result in getting your account banned.

There are several WOW sites that have banded together under the "No Gold" banner who won't take advertisements from gold re-sellers both because it violates TOS, and to protest the "gold sweatshops" that are cropping up like crazy in China and other countries where kids are paid pennies to farm gold all day.

There you have it folks. Don't send your real money to Chinese "gold sweatshops" in order to get yer fake money. You'll be promoting slave labor, exploiting children and helping capitalistic pigs buy new Armani suits. Instead, send your real money directly to Blizzard's HQ (or Kotaku).
