Is it illegal? Well as illegal as just getting your account banned can be. You don't face any real consequences if you choose to purchase something and your account goes poof, or you get hacked. As stated there are truly legitimate sites that sell gold, accounts, items, w/e you may end up looking for. Just have to be smart with google. It pretty muchly just comes down to whether or not you feel the risk of losing your account to banhammer or hack is worth the saved time in buying w/e you may need. My personal view on it is, if you want to spend your hard earned real money on something in a game that you don't have as much time to spend on getting it, then hey, do what you want. As long as you know the risks involved and accept them, then it's all on you. And there are sites that give you 100% chance of no hack. Or atleast one of said sites that I know of from the 10minutes that I just spent googling around for. Like any other illegal activity, be smart and you won't get caught; be stupid, and pay the "consequences" that come with it. /endmy2cents.

Gold buying/selling is against Blizzard's ToS, you'll get in troubles.
One answer is sure :
do not buy gold online, earn it yourself!

You don't give gold sellers your account name and password
/facepalm
and the difference between buying gold and godmoding your way through a game is that this game doesn't end no matter how good your gear
for instance, say you have no money and you want 5k gold so you can level engineering... will that REALLY make the game lame for you? I mean really? Doing dailies everyday for a couple months really sounds that fun to you huh?
All of your posts in this thread amount to an endorsement of gold-buying. I don't care if you don't like having to play the game to advance your gear in the game - buying gold is against the Blizzard ToS, and thus against Wowhead rules.
Admins, could we please get these posts deleted?

Aside from the negative effect on the server economy, many gold selling websites have malicious code in the page that will install a keylogger onto your machine.
Can you say "New
'I got hacked! QQ'
thead on Wowhead?"
Gold is honestly not that hard to make. Sure, farming dailies and random heroics on several 80's is repetitive and often boring, but what's the point in just having it handed to you? It's a game; there's supposed to be even a small element of challenge or work involved.
There's also something to be said about farming resources and holding the Auction House for ransom... * cough *

I don't actually believe that there are any which are not connected to hacks and account theft. It makes no sense. Once they've decided they don't care about following rules,
why wouldn't they break a couple more rules?
Because those rules send you to jail.
Well, actually, they don't. Failing to provide the gold after collecting your money does not send them to jail. It probably doesn't even measurably get them in trouble. Neither does cracking peoples' accounts.
The correlation between gold-selling and account-hacking is not some kind of wacky coincidence.
