banning account sales merely removes a minor annoyance that "ruins" some peoples immersion. its not going to stop anything except the people that don't like it wont have to look at it anymore.

I'm just glad I don't plan on leveling up another char, fighting with powerlevelers for mobs was never really fun for me...
The arguments for two-boxing and account sales are exactly the same. Less grouping, more PLing, more soloing, fun for one person but not others.

The only people who want account sales to stay in so badly are the people selling/trading the accounts. Newbies don't have the PP to be buying up accounts and removing account sales only effects the top level players who don't want to level up another character.

This results in less people leveling up which causes less people to group together, which causes more people to roll solo classes, which causes less people to group together, which repeats the cycle until people just quit from frustration.

TL;DR High end players already invested time and are more likely to stick around, newbies will see this fucked up cycle and split earlier than later. The high end players eventually burn out on the lack of more content / competition between guilds and quit.

EDIT: I forgot to add that there are so many high level accounts circulating around on this server, that people aren't leveling and selling as many characters as you think. They just get rotated around the server.
