In my opinion it's only a matter of time before most developers decide to go this route. It's just sad to see it happen.
That's absolutely not what we intend to do. i just wrote a blog which you should see up soon, but basically I think the future is allowing customers to express creativity and sell to each other. I also want to completely limit the type of things people can sell.

In addition, we're aggressively spending money on combating farming. Yes it's a real problem and we're not going to sit by and watch people ruin our games.
