I found out the hard way (no, didn't read the stupid SOE bullshit rules) buying plat was illegal when I came on and ALL the money from ALL my toons and bank accounts was gone and replaced with a fuck you game mail from SOE telling me to be grateful I was not banned.

• totally fucks the economy because their full time job is to harvest 300 rares in a day while I'm too busy playing the actual game when I'm not at my full time job so I can't do the same. Having the most rares they can control and ruin the economy instead of the community doing it. Those who have little time to harvest can't make as much because the farmer with 30 rares can afford to take a lot less plat for it.
• they are CROOKS! people who pay by credit card, they steal and use their credit cards to open new accounts to spam and annoy the fuck out of players (huge kisses to any devs who had a hand in the anti spam filters). You bought plat and you help them steal other people's cards and yours. There was also that string of these fucks using dirty methods (like vicious downloads from gamer frequented sites) to get a bunch of logins of your friends, log them in, sell everything they had and quickly trade the plat off to a level 3 toon and pass it on from there further.
• they farm and rudely lockdown mobs that people actually want to kill for quests, a little money in their spare time for masters, AA, and oh yeah FUN.
• if you love decorating why the hell don't you make a carpenter and make all your own shit like the rest of us who like decorating? Or at least find one for sale on ebay.
• personally I am not against people in the community selling some plat to each other as friends, who are real actual players and part of the game (but that could get out of hand too I'm sure), not here as a full time job to ruin our game we pay for so they can have their rice.
• how can they prove you use it for decorating only? You may give it to other accounts to twink out toons which also is not even the issue. See above for main reasons.
• You buy furntiture at any price because you bought your plat and can afford it. Carpenters think "oh joy stuff is selling" and raise prices. Others who have to work for their plat, and also do other things in game besides decorate, can't afford to pay any price listed for tons of furniture but now you have helped raise prices.
