Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello there ppl,I have been wondering since I can't find any clear statement about getting golds from friend,would it be legal if ( in my case ) a RL friend is qutting the game due to real life commitments and he wants to pass me the gold since he won't be using them anymore,would that be considered an illegal activity or what ?

Thanks for reply in advance
