Seriously man. Read Nilbog's post from 2012 again real carefully. The warning was given that they would most likely be changing the way account info was handled. The warning was given that if you didn't have your account secure at the time that the changes went into effect, you would just have to eat it. What are you still going on about GM responsibility for? If people can't listen to warnings, how is anyone else responsible?

This actually supports my point even more. GMs KNEW that system will change so radically that all old expectations will be broken. Yet, they shown their indifference to account trading, essentially condoning it. What they have in fact told you is "We do not support account trading, but we do not forbid it neither. Do what you like". This is exactly why I claim they are responsible. They are the only ones with power to manage the server. They set the rules. They are responsible for what the rules are. Their 4 year long indifference to account trading only proves that they acted irresponsibly. The rule for account trading should have said "not allowed" from day 1, but instead it said "do what you like - we don't care". GMs are responsible for that. Not having a proper rule-set and ignorance of obviously troublesome situation just as bad as creating this situation themselves. GMs allowed account trading to run rampart because they didn't want to get involved, yet they did not had the will to ban them outright.
I judge others by the same criteria I judge myself. I would have ban account trading from the start. So would many people. But I would also take responsibility for what happened on my watch due to negligence of setting up proper rule-set.
