Seems to me there's a difference between a retail product with an active subscription service and a free download, free-to-play service. One has a monetary interest in maximizing subscriber base and doing whatever maximizes profit (sell more retail product, sell more subscriptions), and the other really doesn't care about such things.
As such, it makes sense that Live would frown/ban account traders/sellers and P99 doesn't care. P99 cares about things that give unfair advantages from outside the game, which I imagine is why RMT is illegal. If you trade 50k plat you earned in game for an account, that's not really unfair is it? Technically, even with two accounts, you still can't two box so someone isn't gaining an advantage there either.
I dunno, just some thoughts.
