I started playing again since burning crusade came out, and I kinda want to buy gold so I can get me some leet armor, but is it too risky? I mean, I don't want to get my account banned, or to waste 50 dollars on something blizzard will just take away.

Buy leet armour? Buy?! XDDD Leet armour is earned from dungeons, so it isn't worth it. If a GM catches you, you can't use your account anymore.

If you take out the grind there's no incentive to play. Someone I knew in Guild Wars spent $40 to get the "best" armor, and three days later quit because it was "boring".

^ Actually, on WoW the grind is the incentive to not play. Most of the fun is in dungeons, PvP... But making moolah is easy if you grind Hearthglen, Tyr's, SM or even SFK for twink stuff.

Well, I've bought stuff on Diablo 2 and Blizzard didn't catch me then. Although buying stuff for diablo 2 was a bad experience, the stuff kept getting stolen and I spent hundreds of dollars on it.... And please don't say yes because of morale reasons, that wasn't the question.

Buying gold is for noobs, real men make their own money.

No wonder real men can't afford flying mounts.

Flying mounts won't make a dent in my gold. I had 800 before I hit 50.

Yeah flying mounts are only 1k, at the rate I make money (I put no effort into making money at all) I will have enough for my mount at 70. Buying armor is a stupid idea anyway considering in a few levels it will be obsolete, just grind to 70 and then worry about your gear.

Buying gold is for losers, and it destroys the economy.
An overinundation of money allows for certain select items to be at prices much higher than normal people are usually capable of paying, and as such a select market of ridiculously priced rare items catered around gold buyers is produced.

I think any advantage you would get from spending money on gold in the game is offset from the benefits of actually being in a good social guild and earning your rewards yourself. Not to mention gold farming s up the in-game economy and causes inflation at the auction houses, and the people who spam the messages about gold farming websites via Instant Messaging are annoying as hell.
