In regards to the merchant discussion, as already stated, buying low and selling high is not corrupt. It's basic economics. The beauty of a free market system is that someone can sell something for whatever price they want depending on how long they're willing to take. This is how the economy in most RPG's work, and how money and items are circulated.
Now that statement is out of the way, there is nothing corrupt about devoting all or a majority of your time to it. If someone willingly puts their item up for an amount of mesos, no matter the price or their ignorance of how much they could be making, that is the price they decided and agreed upon. If you are buying scrolls 10mil less then what they are worth and someone agrees to it, that is a mutual agreement. This isn't scamming, this isn't greed, it's basic economic skills.
This is a game, a Role Playing Game at that. If someone decides they find enjoyment out of accumulating wealth through being a devoted merchant, they have every right to enjoy themselves and are not guilty of anything.
Duped items or items obtained through malicious means have no relevance in this matter then besides the fact that if someone is using them to make money they deserve to be banned. Everything else mentioned is common practice and fair game.
