No let me make it very simple for you.

If companies turned a blind eye to buying and selling of in game currency, you would have L2. People arguing that its a-ok because they make a buck in RL and they don't have the time to invest, should realize that there is an overall cost to the game, the community, and the industry in general.

If SoE and Blizzard decided to one day, say fuck it, and allow anyone to buy and sell currency, you would see the bot trains you see in L2, you would see the robots by the dozens taking over areas and taking over spawns. There would be /who hunter 60 x 10000 in Dire Maul, and the value of anything you sold on the player market would be inflated beyond any reasonable proportion. You would be in essence, forced to buy from the secondary market to keep up.

How the fuck is that a good idea? No, you and your selfish compadres can only see the benefit to yourself, and that is where your logic fails, and fails badly.
