Except, the point of this thread that you and several other people fail to realize, is that in classic and as far as I'm aware, STILL, it is illegal to sell and trade accounts.

To argue this as a point of 'morality', it's disallowed on Live because SOE is a corporation. I'm sure there's legal issues regarding PLing accounts to sell for your profit. Trading is probably a grey area, but it's cleaner to just say 'no' all around.

From the 'it's not classic' standpoint:
1) It happened anyway. (I remember surfing Ebay and finding accounts)
2)It's pointless to throw a fit over it here, it's impossible to regulate because it takes 2 minutes to make an account and create a lvl 1, and as importantly, it may actually have a POSITIVE impact on the community so long as RMT is aggressively prosecuted.
I know several players who leveled a character, got burnt out and traded/sold for another class. This keeps the population high. I myself would have long ago sold my 46 shaman if it weren't on the same account as the character I still play most.
