I talked to Jin, and he thought that it was okay me to make this thread (he does not give it a seal of approval, but says unless another moderator shuts it down, it is okay for now).

Basically I wanted a place for people to discuss in an open forum the merits of the Swap Shop now allowing the transfer of WoW accounts between members (at their own risk). As of about a week ago (give or take), WoW accounts for trade began posting here, and DakkaDakka for the time being is allowing it.

Discuss.

EDIT:

Thread about same subject in Nuts and Bolts forum (which I think is specifically a more direct appeal to the moderators and administrators over the policy) here:

IDC what people choose to do. But if blizzard finds out who trades the account will be perma-banned & deleted.

Personally I would love to sell my account but I am a loremaster, I loved the story & with kataklysm there is too much ret-conn for this Troll Shaman to take. That is why I cancelled my account never to play again.

I put LOVE into that character, and I will never despoil it by letting someone play it with kataklysm

Personally I could care less, but for Dakka's own sake I'd nix it, since its against WoW TOS (with a couple of loopholes I believe) and if Blizz comes down on someone, I believe they come down *hard*

To be honest, it's not really up to public opinion.

We (in theory) allow the legal transfer of gaming accounts if the ensuing trade is wargaming-related.

We won't allow it if it is simply an attempt to sell an account, or online game-related stuff, as that wouldn't be wargames-related. And we'll look into the policy if companies that own those accounts ask us to.
