The reason verant wants to end the selling of items is because ppl make a ton of money by farming items.
On The Rath the guild KeG states that they used to make 1000's of dollars a month by camping all the good items in the game. They do this not for fun not for skill advancement. They do it to make money and thats it. They have stated that at almost any giving hour they have all the major drops in the game camped by either Tagged or untagged guild members. This makes it almost completly impossible for anyone who just wants to play the game to do so.
