The Difference Between Farming for Gold and Gold Farming on WOW

Author: Gold Farming is NOT Farming for Gold
Gold Farming and Farming for Gold are two different things, one is legal and the other will get you in to troubles…
Some new World of Warcraft players may have confused the term - ”gold farming” and “farming for gold”.
WOW – Farm For Gold
When you farm for gold you are collecting items from your kills, mine or otherwise gather so you can take it and make in-game gold from it.
You make your WOW gold when you sell the item, to a vendor, on the WOW Auction House or by trading it to another player.
You can even have a second boost to your gold making from your farming for gold by using the items you farm on as a component in an item you can make (so you profit from the differences in prices).
This method of getting rich and making WOW gold is legal, and you can use it to boost your gathering profession skill level and increase your in-game banked gold.
WOW – Gold Farming
When someone gets a lot of gold in the game, and then tries to sell it for real money they are gold farming.
They usually send “whispers” to low level characters in the hopes that these people will be new to the game, and not know this is an illegal practice that will get them banned permanently from WOW.
These people don’t care about playing WOW other than to make money off of gullible players. More players are now using AddOns that automatically filter these whispers out and report the violator directly to a Game Master (GM).
Players can always use the “report spam” button to report this activity to a GM as well. These illegal farmers also sell the gold on their own websites. Since all the gear, loot and currency belongs to Blizzard this practice is in direct violation of their terms of service rules.
Gold farming is illegal!
And it puts unsuspecting new players at risk of being banned from the WOW game. Farming for gold is how you bring up your character’s profession skills, buy better gear, mounts and companion pets.
It keeps you in good standing with other players of World of Warcraft and won’t put you at risk of being forever banned from the game.
Farming for gold…good. Gold farming…very, very bad.
