Is Buying Gold In Diablo 3 Illegal ?

Lately, the hottest topic discussed on lots of forums is "Is buying gold in diablo 3 illegal?  " or " Can you get banned buying diablo 3 gold ? ". Though lots of players answered on the forum that it's legal to buy gold in diablo 3, while others say that it's against Blizzard's rule and proved to be illegal that will lead account to be banend. What's the correct answer among them ? If you are also interested in this topic,lets continue to figure out what's proved to be right.

Blizzard does not recognize the transfer of diablo 3 Accounts or Blizzard Accounts (each an "Account"). You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void. Blizzard owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to all of the content that appears in the Game. You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including without limitation the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in the Game, or any other attributes associated with the Account or stored on the Service. Blizzard does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Game, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Game. Accordingly, you may not sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value outside of the Game.

Blizzard will not actually need to be able to prove that someone is selling or buying gold. They have the right to ban accounts for any reason. This is clear if you read EULA/TOS. If they suspect someone is buying gold it will be enough. Maybe they will reactivate the account if the player complains and can convince them he is innocent. But they can more or less do what they want if they suspect and have good reasons to believe someone is breaking EULA/TOS.

But, if you think about it, the "gold" is proprietary interest of Blizzard. You don't really own the "gold" or your carachter, but merely have a license to play a game that Blizzard can cancel anytime.

In fact, buying gold in diablo 3 is only "illegal" in the sense of diablo 3 rules. Untimely life bans can be acquainted by gold selling.If you choose a legit diablo3 gold website such as D3LOVER.COM to buy gold, it's still legal business to buy and sell gold in diablo 3.
