I wanted to phrase the poll from the vantage of a player not a game
operator, mostly because I think its something that is outside of
the game operator's hands.  We can't stop players from
trading/selling items, and we know they are going to do it it
anyway.  So we either actively support or engage in it ourselves, or
we atttempt to dissuade and minimise any unwelcome impact.

Umm, could be.  Care to suggest other options or a poll that
reflects the operator side?
