Blizzard has removed a rare World of Warcraft mount from some players as it continues to act against real-money trading. The move matters because it shows the company is willing to reverse in-game rewards obtained through prohibited transactions, not just punish accounts involved.

The action reportedly concerns the recently introduced Pearlescent Goblin Wave Shredder mount, which could be acquired through purchases linked to the game’s trading systems. Blizzard has not publicly detailed the full scale of the removals, but the case follows wider enforcement aimed at players and groups using real money to buy in-game gold, services or items outside authorised channels.
