How will Ashes of Creation Adress the Issue of Gold Sellers or Leveling Boosters?

Hello, this is my first post here and I came here after watching Asmongold's Q&A with the CEO.
I am curious on how the developers plan to tackle the people who will sell gold for money or sell boosting or other items?
I am really worried to be honest because when I searched for "" ashes of creation "" on google for the first time the first thing on the front page of google was an advertisement on This website that is planning to sell gold or boosting for the game.
Thank you!

So if you want it, you're going to have to earn it.
level boosters are people who offer people to boost their levels for money, not an in game shop like in wow
I disagree. People will and do anything for real life or even in-game money dude, saying this wont happen is Naive, it will attempt to happen but the question should be how will it be stopped? and I assure you they wont stop them all.
I do believe however that the vast majority here dont want them in the game and reporting will be done on a grander scale than in other games.

Yep - and to that end, that $15 pushes up the price of gold that they'll sell (compared to F2P) which should also help discourage our community from purchasing off them.
The ability to stop all this is a ongoing battle and IS appears to be ready with in game GM's, which is key. Sure will cost a lot to post or shout with selling... but somehow our worst enemy always finds a way. The only truly affect way is using real live humans to monitor and execute the EULA. Lets just hope IS doesn't reduce staff a few months after release, like so many companies do. One only has to look at L2 to see what a joke software driven antibot was. Gold spammers literally sat in the open, surrounded by players in town, and nothing was done. Shouts, pm, mail was a constant issue.
With all that said... actual enforcement that affects the seller is never gonna happen as the IRL laws are not followed by countries that provide safe harbor for these pieces of trash. I would love to see it... a company go after several countries who could care less about the EULA. Not going to happen but...
Stop buying and stop sending money to farmers in China, Russia, and others.
