Mark Jacobs, Vice President of Mythic, a Warhammer Online developer company, expresses his feelings towards gold sellers. On his personal blog he expressed himself very sharply. "I’ve been waiting for the day that WAR launched so I could have the absolute pleasure of instituting policies to make their lives more difficult so we could drive them out of WAR" Mark said, and I salute.

However, I have heard that before from other developers, but my jaw dropped when Mark added "Since WAR launched we have been banning these jerks like crazy. As of Saturday Night, we had banned about 400 of them". Salute once again. He concluded the article with a phrase "Go to hell".
