Professional Farmers

[Tal]

Oh, and I see the opportunity to purchase in-game items with real money to be a problem entirely different that that of farming (if it was professional farmers in the lead when it comes to filling the auction houses, it would be some other group, like college students).  I don't like the idea of players paying money for in game benefits without those items/players being flagged clearly.  I want to be able to compare how well my choices and skill have paid off during the time I have played compared to other people [this is why I think you should be able to see timed /played for other characters, so you can compare how well you are doing to them post 60].  I am a competative person, what can I say.

This is exactly the problem this thread entails. Whether the professional farmer is selling resources or items the resulting AH gold goes into the coffer to be sold along with grinded gold for money.
