OK, 1st you guys all but ruin my Twink Bracket with the Grandfathering BS. Then the forums are down most of last night and this morning (at least Cyclone’s). Now, you are feeding me ads promoting gold buying? Is this now legal to do?
Please tell me Blizz…

Holy shit, that is just classic!
Heh Blizzard either got paid a pretty penny to let them advertise on there site, or Blizzard is now secertlly supporting gold buying..as long as they get a nice cut of the profit.
Nice one. Going to check EU forums to see if we get the same crap (never noticed the ads at all with firefox+noscript)
HAHA I just noticed this ad and was going to post it, but I see Drayner already caught it.
ROFL!!
i just sent blizzard a fucking huge ranting email about this, cuz (yes i’ve bought gold) i got 1000g (40 bucks at the time) taken from me by blizzard back pre-bc and my account got banned for a day….now they advertise this shit…are they fucking kidding
that redefines hypocracy…its one thing if they wana make a rule in the game (and banning gold buy is a fair rule) but its a whole nother story when they blatantly advertise a gold site…i bet they have been behind the gold selling the whole time…just spawning gold to sell…it would explain the shitty customer service on gold buying sites (o snap…big diss)
i’ve reset the page like 30 times and the AD didn’t come up again.
hmm……
let me know if you see it again, it’s 3:53 eastern/12:53 pacific (US) time right now
It’s a trap!
Blizz is not doing a good work atm, screw up 80 pvp, screw up twinking and makes pvp gear drop from a pvp raid without arena req and now this.
Whats next giving random bans to everybody who dont raid?
I have a screenshot somewhere of the frontpage of MSNBC with the story that Princess Diana had died in a car crash and the banner ad above it was for the Mercedes ‘S’ Class saying it was the safest motor vehicle in the world.
As for gold selling take a look at thsale.com that price for that site they are advertising is not that cheap ;-p
My main’s a rogue, I’ve grown used to Blizzard’s Hypocrocy and ignorance.
are you serious? or playing with photoshop?
Dead serious…
WI posted too…

yup.. apparently it was real. people are talking about it on the forums. lmao.
My theory is thet the firm thet hosted the add changed the pic to a wow-mine add :p
(just checked, blizz don’t host the adds)
LMAO?
I came to the conclusion a while back that Blizz sells gold. I mean cmon, I see the same websites spammed over and over in trade channel like susanexpress. They’ve banned certain words but not the url of a few of the biggest gold farmers? This tells me they are selling their gold. And that pic confirms it lol.
[...] gold. I know I’ve always had a feeling that they would implement something like this after the Gold-Selling Ad Scandal. But what’s to stop someone from dropping $150 for a Spectral Tiger and then selling it on the AH [...]
