Yeah, now I actually wish I wasn't just re-subbed for 6 months. I'll pull my auto-resub and go with game cards.

It seems that Acti-Blizz just changed the terms without warning; their option, my mistake for committing to a company that has been giving signals of major change by breaking old taboos recently. And with this Pet Store Blizzard just 'in effect' sanctioned gold-selling since these pets are already being exchanged for gold in the game.

And what's next?
I can't believe Blizzard's word anymore because they've not kept their word.
Pay for consumables?
In-game advertising?
Pay for levels?
$$$ for epics?
Sorry, but there are no guarantees anymore. The game has changed forever and there is no going back.
