And yes I very much feel justified. I know people that sell gold and they get their gold not from stealing accounts I can assure you that. (not that all don't, I'm just saying not all gold sellers are thieves)
To be honest, seems as if you're just trying to convince yourself that "not all of them does", I'd say a majority does. Hell, most companies have noted a great increase in hacked/stolen account over the past 6 months and had no choice but to take stronger actions to prevent this. Unrelated to Gold Sellers, but even Google had a massive issue 2-3 months ago, as hackers located from China hacked and stole the content of SEVERAL users inbox/information. MMORPG also experienced an attack few weeks ago I believe (Refer to the Blog issues)
Overall, there has been a noticeable increase in hacking/ account theft which is usually tracked down to China or Taiwan. Gold Sellers are amongst those hackers, and it's not just a small minority, it's a real threat.
To be blunt and to the point, which is likely to offend someone...
But I believe it's because MMOs have become more mainstream. As such, it's also attracted a lot of players who do not appreciate the base design of the game, and would rather pay extra to bypass actually playing the game to get to what they feel is the "enjoyable" part.
