How is this any different from purchasing goods in the EC tunnel or forum? Certainly, it would be commendable to give out the rots for free, but it is not ethically obligatory to do so.

The guild is capitalizing on a rare commodity that cannot be obtained any other way. Much in the way you tried to buy this unique account here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...0&postcount=10 You had a want, and a seller was in a position to fulfill that want. This is basic economics; both parties to the transaction are better off than they were before, and no one has been made worse off. This is economic efficiency of the most desirable type by nearly any metric of efficiency. (Pareto, Kaldor-Hicks, Pigouvian, etc.)
If you honestly think that was a serious offer (and since you seem to have no problem investigating and digging up posts) I suggest you look at my actual auction thread and see if I'd able to actually make good on that kind of deal.

I'll save you some time. Not counting gear (nothing amazing) my girlfriend and I have 9K between the two of us.
