WarcraftPets Forum

Good afternoon,

I [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/9309341081]posted[/url] on the WoW Forums looking to trade a blizzard pet store pet for a Viscous Horror or Pygmy Direhorn and someone posted this type of trade is against the rules.

I'm interested in finding out if there has been a blue post on this issue.

Thanks!

if it is against the rules, myself and several more people would've had our accounts suspended yesterday....

Not against the rules, just not supported. Trading codes for anything (game time, pets, etc) is a partially out of game trade. If it goes south, Game Masters cannot assist in recovery. So they are done at our own risk.

I've never seen a blue post on this, and I've done a few of these trades. I doubt it's against rules as Blizz made the pets giftable, and with the ability to trade pets, it's a logical extension of the gifting. Although indeed they are very much at your own risk, as there is no way to verify that it was a trade - and not a "gift". It's very similar to trading things like Blizzcon pet codes or CE codes. But I've never had a problem with this type of trade with the guys/gals on this forum. The people I've dealt with, at least, are reliable and trustworthy.

Best advice I can say would be to have all parts of the trade done in WoW that way there is at least a chat log should the other person try to scam. You might not get your stuff back but there is at least a small chance. I tend to always ask for the code/gifted pet before trading anything.

But it is as people say. It is really not supported but not outright banned either.
