Blizzard warns World of Warcraft: Forever players it will 'very aggressively' punish anyone who buys gold with real money

Blizzard, the developer behind World of Warcraft: Forever, has vowed to enforce strict penalties against players who engage in real-money trading (RMT) within the game. In a recent Q&A session, senior game designer Josh Greenfield cautioned that the company will "very aggressively punish gold buyers" to prevent the game's in-game trading economy from being disrupted.

Players must be wary, as Greenfield emphasized that the consequence for violating the rules is likely to be a permanent ban on their account. The warning comes as the game prepares for its full release, with a focus on maintaining the balance and sanctity of the game's economy.
