Yes, yes it is against the ToS, but that has and never will stop Gil Sellers and Account sellers. There is still a market of MUST HAVE IT NOW, GIVE IT TO ME! I NEED MY GILZ AND R50!!!! people that don't like to work for the goal and have a sense of achievement, they would rather buy it and not have to do the work. Also people can have their own account and pay the gilseller/account sellers to Power Level their character to predetermined rank, just because they don't want to do it. It is a festering sickness in the MMO market that no matter what you do it will always be there.
