I don't understand why people are making this an issue of economics. Any trading of accounts/RMT inevitably ruins a server's sense of community. How is a guild supposed to know that person A is actually person A and not somebody who has traded their account info for plat or swapped for another account? What stops a person from paying for another account once they get bored of their own character(s)? EQ wasn't easy and it was time consuming, but that one was of it's strongest points. Degrading it to a flavor-of-the-month character via acct trading should be a bannable offense.
It's essentially being PLed by a chinese gold farmer, except rather than paying RMT for it you pay in-game plat, either way it's wrong.
