Afaik (I do not know everything and I'm not always right, any1 can feel free to correct me if the following statement is wrong) you're not even allowed to exchange the virtual currency for anything that's not in-game.

You are correct, this type of exchange will still fall under blizzards ToS for Gold Selling.

That may not be against the terms. Considering blizzard afaik have no problem with people selling tcg loot for real money it wouldnt be too different than trading them for keys (mind you that's a lot of keys). Its just one of those gray areas that I myself have never looked into. Of course exchanging wow gold for anything that isn't in game is still considered against the TOS.
