That's a bit of a different matter though. They could easily do that without repercussion because it's a transaction between one player and the system. When it deals with player to player, it's a much more touchy subject to tackle. The reality is that this is most likely one of those "we don't encourage it, but we will not take action upon those who do it" sort of things. It's not quite in the spirit of the game to be so openly carried through current content, afterall. In one perspective, it's similar to paying for a crafters services (or the services of any one player really). There most likely won't be an official response on the matter, as that would only encourage the behavior of both parties, but it's not exactly a forbidden thing to do. You are right though in that people should still be weary.
