World of Warcraft gold is like the air we breath, you absolutely have to have it if you are going to succeed while playing World of Warcraft. Just about anything worthwhile in World of Warcraft requires gold.
Want to level up? Need gold.
Want to get new and better armor? Need gold
Want to buy some bags so you can carry more stuff to sell to make gold? Need gold
Want to have a mount? Epic? Need gold
There seems to be a trend here that you need gold for everything! Well except in some cases, but those are few. So, maybe you have been playing World of Warcraft for a while now and the amount of gold in your pack is pitiful. Well, you are tired of being gold poor and jump to the web and look up gold. Whoa! There are all kinds of sites offering to sell you gold for cash.
You can literally purchase gold for cash and have that gold given or sent to your character in World of Warcraft. At first glance you might be thinking this is a great idea, but think again. No it isn't illegal for you to buy gold or sell gold, but it is against the terms of service for playing World of Warcraft. This means that if you are caught doing either, your character can be banned and your account terminated. Let that sink in a moment.
So what if you do buy the gold? Well, you just spent real cash for imagined, intangible gold. Let that sink in for a moment. What if you put it on a credit card that has an interest rate of around 22% or more? Well my friend, if you are like the majority of people with credit, you will not pay off that balance for a long time in effect increase your actual cost for something that doesn't exist. There are plenty of stories of players that have been burned for buying and selling gold on World of Warcraft.
Furthermore, you lose out on the adventuring and interaction component of playing World of Warcraft and you do not gain any experience along the way. This is why you really should not buy gold from the gold sellers online. Plenty of risk, little reward.
