I'm fairly certain that Jagex already looks at gold farmers in that way. Since you brought up the legality of it, it also had me thinking. Jagex, in the past, has been anti-bot/anti-rwt, and were quite serious about it as well, going as far as bringing bot developers, gold farming websites, even players into a court of law. In fact, I recall quite faintly not too long ago about these people that have had to pay jagex quite a princely sum of money because of their botting activities. Granted, botting is completely different than rwt/gold farming but they are easily interchangable, and a lot of people used botting to gather GP. If Jagex themselves started to sell GP, what exactly would that do in regards to any of their lawsuits and other legal actions, both current and past? I have a very, VERY basic understanding of the issue and of course I know little about the law in this regard, but I think it would be quite an interesting conundrum Jagex would get themselves into. Also, as others have said, Jagex selling GP directly would absolutely DESTROY the Runescape economy. Not just because Jagex would get themselves into a pricing war with gold sellers, but because the huge influx of money just being injected into the game would be catastrophic. There is few money sinks in the game that actually remove GP at a good rate as it is, so Jagex just forcing money into the game would be well, you know. Remember 26/76k'ing? that itself caused a number of high level, expensive items to just absolutely tank in their prices. Jagex selling gold would basically be 76k'ing, times 10.
