Increasing the Gem-to-gold economy
That would just drive up the price of goods on the trade post even more.
Making it harder for those who refuse to buy gold.
Maybe it’s just me but I think for the money you pay for the amount of the gems you get compared to gold sellers it never seems to be worth it. You can buy 100g for $30.00 from a gold selling website from a mail I just received advertising their site. If they want people to buy gems I would think they would be a bit more reasonable and give more gold per 100 gems and so forth.
I’d also like to say they should give suspension to players who purchase gold rather than just flat out ban them. Giving them a 7-day slap on the wrist would do a lot more good than banning them and having them never play the game again. Along with spreading bad rumors about the game and such.
Just my two cents.
Why would Anet give warnings when players already agreed to follow the rules before they made their accounts. If people wish to purchase Gold from RMT companies that steal accounts and commit fraud, a perma ban is the perfect response.
As for being “entitled” to more Gold per Gem exchange, perhaps you don’t realize how much each coin is devalued when you infuse the market with currency. People are mad that certain Lodestones are 3 gold each, but wait until they start hitting 10 gold and up. That’s what would happen if Anet allowed the RMTs to run wild.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
why not just ban the bots, sellers and buyers and eventually they run out of money from having to buy the game more.
the there will no longer be illegal gold sellers and everything is fine.
If you buy gold from the gold sellers and break the tos you might as well be banned.

Gold sellers don’t buy the game/accounts. They steal them from people who have already paid/steal credit card info and make purchases to use the game until they get banned. They couldn’t care less if they get banned because they just have to fire up another account and get back to farming.

then its not a problem of the trading but a security problem.

So you’re asking them to develop an unhackable piece of software? Pretty sure those don’t exist at the current time and probably never will.
And even if they did, all the gold sellers would have to do is outweight the cost of buying an account by making more sales. It’s not like they’re starting with zero funds. And you might say that they only have limited funds, but it’s not like they’re getting instantly banned. As long as they get a few hours online, that would be enough advertisement to get them the sales they need. And even without any funds from GW2, a lot of those sites operate in other MMORPGs as well.

why hack a game then? why not hack a bank directly?

why hack a game then? why not hack a bank directly?
A multitude of reasons.
For one, banks have better security. Secondly, the repercussions are on a whole different level. Even attempting to hack a bank gets you sent to jail for years, whereas hacking in the game gets you banned at most. And of course, if you hack a bank, there’s none of that “if you get caught” talk, because you’re not going to be haunted by some GM team, but actual feds.
And I’m pretty sure that most of the hacking occurs outside of the game. It could be via datamining from making a purchase at a gold selling site, or it could be an email hack from the same site. And in those cases, it tends to come down to antivirus and email service security, which is totally out of ANet’s control.

its withing Anet’s control. If these are the causes, Anet can ban them fast. And with enough awareness and such, eventually all the stupid people who buy gold from third party sites will be banned.
Anet’s security needs to be tight considering they have information about many player’s credit cards and personal information. They also have their own reputation at stake.
