World of Warcraft: Forever Beta Faces Early RMT Scandal Involving Popular Streamers
Real-money trading (RMT) has emerged as a significant issue in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta, with Blizzard taking action against streamers and players. The game, launching November 4, 2026, faces early controversy as characters are wiped at launch, yet some players and streamers engage in RMT. Blizzard has suspended or punished accounts, including those of streamers Ziqoftw and Payo, for receiving or soliciting gold through RMT. The community is calling for stricter enforcement, and Blizzard has promised to address RMT in the full game.
