Gamer Idiot Pays Nearly $10,000 For WoW Character

This story makes me cringe. Apparently, Zeuzo, a rogue from the guild “Method” on Sylvanas-EU, has sold his account for 7000 euro, or $9,500. Zeuzo’s gear included the legendary sword set Twin Blades of Azzinoth, 4/5 Tier 6, and many other Hyjal/BT loots. The new owner has transferred to Kazzak and is happily PVPing (reportedly quite badly) under the name Shaks.

There are two things about this story that make me question the human race. Why would someone pay almost $10,000 for a character that will probably end up getting banned? Blizzard has made it well known that buying and selling characters is against the TOS. Considering the publicity a transaction like this is almost guaranteed to generate, why take the chance? Second, what is “Shaks” gonna do a year or so from now when the next expansion comes out and everyone running around in level 71-72 green items have better stats?
