Gilsellers/Gilbuyers are not only factors that devalue gil, naturally inflation makes gil worth a little less than it is yesterday and pointing it at a scapegoat isnt going to work. Everyone is responsible, me, you, everyone that uses the AH has some kind of dirtyness in it. Gilselling is but only one factor of this. Gilsellers DO NOT MAKE GIL OUT OF THIN AIR, they are gotten by legitimate means within the game with no hacking, therefore gilsellers actually could archive the gil until it is bought. Also if they keep putting in items to the AH, as long as its not a monopolization, they will keep prices DOWN because theres always supply to mea the demand. Gilsellers arent exempt from economic rules in the game and i see they are people too, some nice, some asses.

To me, companies that sell gil are just selling pieces of data to you, not necessarily that even, they can sell the time they are sending that gil to you. If i was the head company, and people would actually pay to get virtual money, i would exploit it and think of the money i can gain. By operating in third world countries or economically less stable countries, they can easily do so with minimal loss for the uneducated and finanally unstable people with minimal training.

Basically to me:

Gilbuyers: Started the gilselling and put a real world value on virtual money and have the means to purchase it whether it be the virutal money itself or the time spent to deliver it.

Gilsellers: Low income families struggling to get more money and working hard and dont see this as a game, but as work, get paid under minimal wage. The head people of the companies see this as a buisness because as long as there is demand, they will keep getting virtual money. Or people that want money out of an MMORPG before quitting.

Whether or not you want to buy is your choice, your decision, i wont look down on you either way because its your money and your gaming experience (for that area only). But to say gilsellers are the sole reason for the economy it is today is just stupidity. I personally wont buy it, however alot of people do look down on gilbuying. Its a pretty gray area, especially with some companies like Sony Online Entertainment selling their own virtual money as well.
