    These farmers are usually part of a network of farmers, gilbanks and several transport channels in between.
    By monitoring them instead of instantly hitting them with the banhammer they can identify the other characters that are part of the network and at the same time buyers as well.

    Unfortunately for us, this is a process that can take a few weeks.

    Meanwhile what resemblance of an economy is left gets eroded permanently. Blizzard has been doing this since WoW launched, I can tell you it never worked in favor of the players it's effecting.
