I agree with you Tom the gold sellers have already bought gold form players at a certain rate if Anet lowered their price on gold for long enough the gold sellers would loose a considerable chunk they have already invested. Sure they could sit on their gold until ANet raised the price again but during that time they are making nothing. Lowered gold prices would hurt the illegal sellers.
@Venomlaced those people who buy gold from outside sources are at high risk of losing it, as every gold-seller transaction is logged in the mail database. So maybe you spent twice as much buying gold, but you’ll not risk a ban from it.
I think you are looking at the smaller issue here. 1 person getting banned from buying gold from an outside source does not stop the in game economy from being eschewed by the millions of gold that is being bought and used at a much lower rate than can be legally bought in game. What I’m saying is the problem is not the gold buyers its the gold sellers and Anet either needs to step up their game and ban the spammers more quickly or lower their prices on gold so those of us that are not breaking rules and buying gold their way are not getting shafted by the inflated prices the cheap illegal gold has created.

What gets me is every ten minutes or less we see an add that offers us to buy gold at the price of 2.50 per unit. The spamming does not stop so one can only assume that people are buying and using gold bought out side of the game.
I recently bought 50.00 worth of gems in game and traded the entire amount for just around 10 gold. Those people buying gold outside of the game are getting 2x the gold as I am. The trading post does not care where the gold came from the prices go up and come down based on what is being bought and sold. The outside gold upsets the economy greatly so if you can not get under control then you should lower your prices on gems so those of us abiding by your rules are not getting shafted by those that are not.
I love the game its is a step up from every game I have played to this point but I feel the same level of frustration as when I quit playing Guild Wars 1. The powers that be know that people are using certain game mechanics to move ahead you start to see a trend and you don’t like it. You spend time in meetings and sending emails to each other and then finally you decide to go ahead and nerf something in your game. During this time other people in the community have spent time money and effort to level and equip there characters to do what everyone else had been doing.
So my point is this if you don’t like something in your game get off your butts and act swiftly to correct it. Don’t let hundreds of thousands of players do something before you decide to make a change or act because thats not fair to the rest of us and it seems like being fair is something that is important to you.
Right now how many level 80 players used the dungeon mechanic to level their characters? I know its a lot because everyone I talked to told me that was the way to level your character.
As to why anyone would want to level quickly and not spend time in the story. I came to the game a little late with the guild that I was part of in GW1. They all have 70+ level characters and they want me to get there quickly so I can participate in the events that they are participating in. It is not that I want to skip content it is that I need to be closer to their levels so I can participate in the events that make a guild what it is, a family. What is the point of being in a guild if you can not do things together?
