The notion that people selling the prod is a bad thing is flawed. A fixed number of prods are entering the server per day, at a constant rate regardless of whose hands they fall into. If people can't buy the prods they'll just pay people to MQ them. The server is getting keyed at the same rate regardless, and no method will make everyone happy. Who is more happy is irrelevant, except in the case where we are able to spend what limited time we have to spend on the server, on more important things than who gets a fucking prod.
Who gets a prod is not a server concern, or a development concern. It's a player concern, you're going to compete for them regardless. So get to it.
