I hope you were trying to be funny. That is a pretty bold and inflammatory statement. You or I could have put two and two together to how best defend yourself while allowing someone to do content for you.

In all seriousness trying to assure people they shouldn’t worry about sharing their username password is at best foolish if not suspicious. That and it makes the IT guy in me cry =(

If they are in PF, send them a message through PF then use the message you sent them in the chat window to blacklist them.

They are actually making it so you can directly blacklist them from PF in the patch

Can't SE just impersonate a player in the process, and permanent banned the seller immediately after entering the instance on main account.

that's bordering on entrapment though.

... how? Entrapment would be players unlikely or unwilling to sell content but coaxed into doing so. These players know full well what they're doing; know they're breaking the ToS. They simply don't care. A GM pretending to be a potential buyer isn't tricking them to do anything they wouldn't have otherwise.

As for why this wouldn't happen. Lack of manpower, time and desire. Content selling just isn't prevalent enough for SE to care. At least not in a disruptive manner.

OP, I agree, it's pretty egregious. When I came back after being gone for a few years, I couldn't believe what PF had become.
As a result, I rarely look at PF now, so problem solved for me.
Not sure SE can really do anything about it though ...
