Was severely sleep deprived on 28hr call when I responded to this thread.
Here's a better follow-up to why the server shouldn't allow character sales aside from all the other stuff I mentioned previously:
1. It's a for-profit game and the server needs to make money. The cost of 1 sub to transfer account is significantly lesser than the cost for someone to purchase sub set(s) to train a flat and other skills. The short-term gains are insignificant compared to the long-term growth.
2. If someone gets scammed during a transaction, it would be a hassle for staff to deal with these extraneous issues. They would be diverting attention from hosting events, moderating the game, etc to deal with these problems.
3. There are probably thousands of abandoned accounts nobody needs. So the sales of characters would be tremendously active, which will lead to reduction of "training time" and ultimately reduce player activity in the game. In other words, people will just get bored and quit.
It would not be in the server's interests financially or practically to allow character sales. I understand a lot of you have abandoned alt accounts and would like to make quick pixel money, but the game would deteriorate pretty quick from every point of view.
