Mercing is just an extension of this, a player controlled market, setting the prices for services and drops.
To me those that complain about merc so much are likely jealous of them that they can't do it. We the players control how the economy works, we don't need SE to come in from on high to change things that we run ourselves. If you don't like people that buy items from others, don't play with them then, call them out on it, etc. But don't take away their freedom to do what they want to do, it is their choice.
