World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has issued a moratorium on its Anniversary realms' gig economies. It'll continue to ban GDKP raids, in which players bid gold on loot and split the subsequent pot of gold among each other, and other business ventures it deems "non-traditional." According to Linxy, "organizations who offer boosting, matchmaking, escrow, or other non-traditional services, including those offered for gold, are prohibited." That said, both players and guilds are free to use "provided in-game tools (such as the Services chat channel) to buy or sell in-game services for in-game currency," Linxy adds.
