In the the end sure RMT will always be a factor but as someone who use to sell gold in WoW as a summer job and still friends with many who engage in RMT our personal fear is the banning of those who buy which will cut our demand. Banning the seller is moot it is just part of doing business.

In the end if people want to break the rules that is on them I do not see people who partake in RMT complaining because generally people understand the risk that is associated with it on both a personal and communal level.

Also the reason behind why someone buys currency in a game is moot sure the devs will never be able to get rid of RMT 100% but they can still provide means to curb it.

Personally I think it is ignorant of the community to blame buyers when we have no control over how an individual chooses to spend their money. We can mock them but what does that solve? As mentioned if SE had less lax rules regarding buyers then may be that would dissuade some from taking part. I do not think I ever mentioned it is possible to get rid of RMT 100% but as someone that sold my greatest fear is when a company starts to ban buyers since if buyers do not feel they are safe they will not take part.
Yeah that's great and everything but you're still being a hypocrite. You are acting as an apologist for gil buyers and saying it's the companies fault, yet with gambling it's all about the person and not the industry/company.

All your post does is spell out why you have this bias.
