This.
From playing mmo's since I was 12 I have learned 2 general overlying types of players exist.
1) Those who enjoy 'the grind' and take pride in leveling multiple characters.
2) Those who enjoy min/maxing their one character to hell. (This can be getting best in slot, farming a pile of money etc).
The people who fall into #1 hate then the people who fall into #2 trivialize their sense of accomplishment by buying accounts instead of leveling them.
The people who fall into #2 never understand why anyone would want to be in #1.
EQ also has a #3 category which is the EC trader who typically pisses #1 and #2 off buy never leveling past level 20, which upsets #1 and then buying/selling for all the best gear in the game without ever dealing with raids which pisses off #2.
All 3 of those people enjoy the game in their own way and it is not the place of anyone to sit on a high horse and demand the game be changed to benefit one over the other. All 3 play the game and simply invest their time differently.

In my heart, I'm an altaholic, who takes pride in leveling multiple characters that are (each and every one) emotional extensions of myself and wouldn't even consider selling.
The idea of buying someone else's character seems like buying someone's used underwear. Flithy.
