As for legality, you're right it isn't illegal. Though I think that it should be because of its affect on some of these games and companies. I guess coming from a game where RMT (aka gold farmers) completly destroyed the game and cost them countless users and countless amounts of money..

Granted, as I said before that's in big part SE's fault for poor game design for handling such things vs WoW. You could also blame it on the buyers for killing the game, because if nobody had the desire to buy it, nobody would be able to sell it.

Honestly this is a complex subject, and its hard to say who's guilty. But the bottom line is that I don't like gold sellers, or buyers. So I have no problem with that type of thing being made illegal here or anywhere else. Virtual money shouldn't have a real value.
