I'll always look for games where time/skill are the only "allowable" tools for progression, but it seems like a lot of people are in the "I have a life so I'll just buy gold and everyone's happy" camp.

I'll grant one thing, it didn't seem like much revenue for the effort/publicity that went into it.
One thing I can absolutely tell you.. in no way are we paying lip service to fighting farmers. It's really, really hard and very labor intensive. We've heavily invested in tools to track people. I have personally worked in CS and tracked them myself. Don't kid yourself.. it's not always easy to spot.
