Blizzard bans WoW: Forever streamer for promoting gold buying

Blizzard banned streamer Payo after he encouraged viewers to buy gold on his behalf, and removed suspicious gold from streamer Ziqo's account without a ban. The company is cracking down on RMT, punishing not only sellers but also buyers and recipients of illicit gold with suspensions or permanent bans.

• Streamer Payo banned for telling viewers to buy gold for him
• Ziqo had gold removed but his account was not banned
• Blizzard will add an in-game warning when trading with strangers
• WoW: Forever beta runs until October 21, full launch November 4
