selling accounts is against the Blizzard EULA and TOS. On these forums we abide by the rules set down by Blizzard and are therefore firmly against the selling of accounts. We will not assist in any way shape or form with this.

technically you cant give it away either - but its not as bad as selling virtual property.

It is a common mantality, that selling a virtual item (acct) is "stupid".
In reality, you are selling not an item, or lack there of... But you are selling the TIME it took to aquire such item, account, or gold.
For a person that wants to enjoy a game, but only has 30 minutes a day free time or an hour or whatever... It may be worth a few hundred dollars to have an account that is 70 with epic gear.
Time, is money. Poor people simply do not understand this. If they did, they would not be poor. If a sales person makes $30 an hour selling, for example purposes... and he takes an hour to go buy mc donalds for $5 bucks to save money... he has just spent $35.. where he is THINKING in his head oh well delivery cost $15, so I would rather save $10 by buying mc'd's.....
Anyways point is that spending money to save time, is not stupid by any means. If I was not worried that Blizz would ban my account...... I would gladly spend money for gold, because I can make money way faster than I can make gold.
AND NO..... Grinding gold is NOT fun.... so NO I am not taking away from the fun of the game........
Anyways... I am bipolar so I may agree that buying gold is bad again tomorrow :)

It wasn't so much that he was selling the time he spent, or the digital stats he gathered; it was more the issue of it not being his property to sell, especially considering the characters are on Blizzard's servers and are made up of Blizzard's propriatory character templates and code. Digital character ownership is sketchy at best, and selling something that isn't rightfully and wholly yours to sell is illigal. One cannot truely say they 'own' a character, only that they have paid for access to a service to which they use.

lol...I know a guy (who will be up for his parole hearing in another 23 months) who tried that logic on the judge. He explained that he really wasn't trying to "sell" that TV, the jewelry and those DVDs to the pawnshop owner, but rather he was selling the "time" it took him to relocate those items from that apartment to the pawnbrokers shop.
Seriously...the only time I could see that arguement as even remotely legitimate, is if someone hired a person to come to his house, sit in front of his computer and play his WoW character for him after he logged in. And even THAT is pushing the limits of the EULA.
If your time is so valuable that you have to pick and choose which parts of a game you can "afford" to play and which parts you need to hire someone to do for you.....then you probably need to reassess your form of entertainment and whether you should be playing WoW at all.
