This. What a few of you are saying, in that you don't understand the point of acquiring that much platinum, are ignoring that gameplay enjoyment is relative. Some people enjoy the grind, some people enjoy playing the endgame. Some people enjoy random questing, tradeskills, other things that other people may view as "pointless". There have always been people that have and will enjoy making as much money as they can, although admittedly they are in the minority.
As far as the selling character issue goes, I feel like the necessary steps from the GMs have already been taken in removing real life money from transactions. The arguments against being allowed to sell and trade accounts are easily handled by the player base. If you are concerned that someone is not able to play their class because they bought their character, group with them before inviting them to important groups or your guild. If they are bad, don't invite them back. If they are good, it's irrelevant.
If this server is supposed to have a true classic feel, well, this was definitely a part of the game. If someone wants to buy a character, they most certainly understand the risks that run with it in regards to buying a character with a poor reputation. If it isn't infringing on anyones ability to play the game, it isn't an issue that the GMs need to bother with.
