You and you're friends Makata and whoever else are the only ones left concerned with protecting the integrity of the game. Everyone else is laughing at you (SOE+Blizz included).
For EQ2, unless it's a purchase on an Exchange server via the Exchange service, we do remove it from buyers as the rest of the chain from farmer/botter->mule->seller gets banned.

"The integrity of the game" can manifest itself in lots of different ways.

To a gaming purist, it has one meaning.

To others, it can just mean, "I'm not going to support those idiots training the dungeons and trying to swipe nameds from others, so they can fill the coffers of (insert site name here)." That's exactly where the majority of the external coin comes from.

To each their own.
