How many of you knew someone who was constantly being played by a guildie or friend? Half the time my RL friends had their toons being rolled into raids and what-not because they were short a bard, chanter, healer, etc.
I knew people who quit all the time and their brother/friend would pick the account up. Some would actually sell and some would keep it active for that reason. While I (personally) wouldn't play a toon I didn't create I can totally understand people who would want to.
Perhaps not allowing the account auctions in EC would fit more with the "spirit of classic" as it certainly was a ban-able offense back in the day. I mean, you could even get liquor during prohibition but nobody was yelling "We are selling booze!" from the alley.
