It wrecks ingame economy, thus ruins my gaming experience. Let her starve. 
EDIT* Hmm, ofc I was being sarcastic. (Just making sure that no jumpy forum mod gets me banned )
How do they wreck ingame-economy? By doing something everybody else could also do? The only difference between them and a player-farmer is, that their wealth is transferred to another player for RL-money. RL-money is not part of the system, so it has no effect.
So, its just the same as if you would wire your friend some ISK for no RL-reward.
Its CCPs crappy ISL-source to ISK-sink relation, that wrecks the ingame economy.
And (oh, no, I did not buy any ISK) I don't have any problem with ISK-sellers or ISK-buyers. Its all about enviousness.
PS: I want all want to have all players who have faster computer-hardware than me have their clients slowed down. Its unfair that they can spend more money on hardware than me and therefore have a better game-experience.
Ask the blokes who play Final Fantasy XI about gil sellers and farmers. Square went the same direction as CCP: they ignored the issue. It got so bad that normal players could not afford anything that wasn't trash, period, end of story. It wasn't until Square grew some balls and was willing to ***** down on the farmers and sellers that the economy normalized and people were able to afford things via normal methods.
The ISK sellers here aren't doing this just to eek out a living supplying a handful of people with ISK, they want to wreck the game so that everyone has to buy ISK from them, because that's the most profitable thing for them.
/signed.
Buying ISK ruins the game.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

but why to hassle with eve and risking getting banned when you can go and hunt some wild animals from the forest?
And you can catch a fish, because in china there are lots of fishes! And you can also collect mushrooms and berries from the forest. So you and your children will not starve to death. That is impossible.

Just look at real world examples. In many parts of East Asia (among other parts of the globe), eating a dog is perfectly normal, but to most Westerners it's disgusting and inconceivable. Until we can understand why each side feels this way there will only be revulsion/misunderstanding over it.
I have Cattle, and pigs but i don't think of them as my Pets.
We think of our Dog and cats as members of the family in our household in other places they are needed food. (cows cost a lot for a food starved ppl)
While that's true in many parts of the world it's not always true everywhere. In some parts of the world, even if you can afford a cow or pig, it's perfectly normal to eat a dog.
I, myself, as someone who holds most dogs in higher regard than many people, can understand needing to eat a dog for survival. But in other parts of the world it is normal to eat one even if survival isn't a matter. This is the sort of thing I'm getting at. We need to understand why this is so before we can argue against them.
This is the problem with ISK sellers. They don't understand that Westerners have a problem with the concept. While we see it as evil, they see it as normal. Just as many would see eating a dog when starvation is not the other option as disgusting.
It's a matter of culture. We don't understand the differences, just as others do not understand our hatred of their actions. Until we address this issue, no progress will be made in the problem.
I used to get It.
Then It changed.
Now I don't even know what It is.
