WoW Gold/Item Farmers Accounts Closed

In their continued efforts to curb sales of in-game equipment, Blizzard has announced that they have closed over one thousand World of Warcraft accounts for selling gold and items on eBay. The announcement:

Over the recent weeks we have been investigating the activities of certain individuals who have been farming gold in order to sell it in exchange for real world currency. After researching the situation, we have issued permanent suspensions to over one thousand accounts that have been engaging in this practice. We do not condone such actions and will take decisive action as they are against our policy and damage the game economy as a whole. We will continue researching this matter. If you suspect someone of taking part in said gold farming, please eMail the report to wowgm@blizzard.com.
