Even outside the legal issue, if they allowed people to trade/sell for RL currency, it would encourage more then 4 accounts, resulting in more people using VPNs to run tons of accounts. As a result things like gold farming etc, would sky rocket, and farming spots are finite.
RWT is going to continue to happen regardless of what the rules state, people aren't even discrete about it as you've seen with my earlier posts. They're using their known aliases and being blatantly obvious of their dealings. I don't think it's had a negative impact on the server at all, in fact I believe it's solely been a reason why some people are still playing the game. There is always going to be people who want to make a profit off their time invested, just as there is going to be players who want to buy gold/items rather than invest the time it takes to acquire them.
As for VPN farms, these are already easily traced back to the main accounts and from what I've heard action has been taken against some of these players already. I know for certain that a majority of our players have already been at the mercy of Tycho and the other upcoming GM's in one way or another with all of the complaints that I've been seeing for months now. So long as the GM's continue what they're doing, we won't have issues with VPN/AFK farmers.
Staff no longer have an obvious incentive to enforce the rules against RWT and at this point should just turn a blind eye just as they do when it comes to allowing scamming, let the people play how they want so long as it's not directly effecting the well-being of the server.
