What is all about this "gold farm" fetish I see a lot of players have.

All of your arguments against player trading due to "gold sellers" have been void and null since release almost. You can turn a blind eye all you want but everyone here knows that you have been able to buy accounts with all of the ships/mods you want for a long time now... Now I personally do not understand why someone would do this as I simply do not see the point of playing a game just to have someone else do it all for you. However I do know there are people that do that very thing... It makes no sense to me at all... But, do not act like this is something new or something that "will" happen if player trading was allowed. It's already here and has been here for a LONG time...

Yes. A google search will reveal people selling accounts. So?
It’s been going on for a long time and with plenty of games. Most game companies when they find these accounts shut them down.
Just because you can sell your account does not mean you need to pander to gold farmers. Player trading was designed out of the game. And I for one don’t miss it. I’d rather play Elite with a HOTAS than with an Excel spreadsheet (ala EvE.)
No ones acting like this doesn’t happen and if your innocent enough to believe that most of the players here haven’t been around the block a few times than the learning curve on Elite is really steep.
 
For reasons I spelled out earlier in the thread, gold sellers are not a likely problem in Elite because there are no easy nwb zones, multiple accounts and so on.



It's a phantom fear making any player cooperation tedious.

Ps: being condescending while being patently ignorant makes you look like a tool.

What an odd statement. Gold seller bots would be out mining everywhere.

The gold seller organisatiionns are huge, hi tech corps.

They can spoof accounts or buy accounts with dark net credits details.

No mmo that i hae ever played has completely excluded gold sellers.

Sure, those who devote huge resources to waging perpetual war have had good results but Frontier don’t want to play that game and incur those costs.

Good on them. It’s refreshing to log on and not spend the first ten minutes clearing out my mail box and reporting spammers.
 
Although...

None of this would be an issue if ED had been a single-player game, like every other Elite game before it.
