At any rate, my petition failed, the GM's won't reinstate the account, so I am done. Its not worth my time to start completely over again. I hope that this story helps people. I do think that account trading is okay, and I do encourage people to do so if they want.
For example, someone makes a character and places the starting stats in a certain way and when they hit 60 they realize that those starting stats being placed differently could significantly impact the viability of their character in the raiding scene. Why should they have to start from scratch just to reallocate points?
I think account buying and selling is only frowned upon because it inflates the economy and it lowers the real world value of platinum, which encourages RMT, imbalancing the game and creating a clear disparity between the lowbies who RMT and the lowbies who don't.
If giving ones account away is okay, then why is buying/selling accounts not? I think that the community needs to read between the lines a bit here. Someone obviously wants control of the games economy. It could be strictly for the purposes of game continuity, but I have my own opinions based upon one of the GM responses in my petition. more to come in a sec
