This topic is so full of fail >.<
ISK buyers promote the existence of ISK sellers. ISK sellers try to maximize their income per second and are competing with players for these resources. Suddenly a catch 22 situation arises because the sellers are well versed in the art of capitalising on the resources presented to them, strip mine them fairly quickly and thus leave less for you and me which in turn increases our need for quick ISK which we in turn might end up buying from them, hence further strengthening their position in this monopoly. That's just one reason of so many. I could bring up the 'What hurts CCP hurts EVE' or the basic 'Selling other peoples property is not cool, mkay?' or 'Too much ISK sales proliferation causes people to remain nubties with no understanding for the worth of ISK effectively dumbing the game down' and I could go on and on.
And what is this about implying that we're not caring about ISK sellers at all? Do you have some mysterious insight into what is happening here? Been reading our logs much perhaps? Or just pulling those facts out of the air? Mayhaps you have a better understanding of the nature of this fight than everyone who's been working on it since launch?
At any rate, you got one thing half right. ISK buyers are not just as bad as ISK sellers. They're a whole lot worse, they create the problem even though we've offered them a legal way of spending their salary on pretend money.
I came to this thread to post similar pwnage. Good to see Prism's done my job for me.
In short: QFT.

Another thing CCP could do to lessen the amount of farmers in 0.0 would be to disable cloaks on battleships. It's getting old jumping in to systems with farmers that instantly warp and cloak as soon as someone enter local.
Translation: Please cause others inconvenience so that my playstyle benefits.

Well causing you a bit of inconvenience is worth it if all farmers get shafted in the process tbh.
While something needs done about the production side of the RMT of ISK, it can be done without removing an anti-gank tool from the hands of the playerbase at-large. Also, the last group that needs to be empowered to identify and punish ISK farmers is the general playerbase. That will simply result in a witch hunt wherein mining barge in high sec automatically = FARMER, KILL IT.
On a semi-unrelated note: there will always be a demand for sold ISK simply because of the kinds of people that EVE, and MMOs at-large, draw in. You expect a group of people who base their leisure activities around making someone else miserable and getting ahead at any cost to show ethics when it comes to purchasing in-game funds? Laughable.
