Dear Runes of Magic Community,
We will be temporarily removing from the Auction House the ability to trade gold for Diamonds, and vice versa.
Please note: This will not affect items already being auctioned.
We are taking this action in light of the dramatic increase in the number of gold sellers recently. This is a necessary step to protect you, our true community of players.
As soon as we’re certain that the trading of Diamonds and gold between players can safely resume, we’ll lift the temporary block.
In the meantime, please be aware that those who attempt to trade contrary to our regulations may have their accounts temporarily banned. The illegal sale of gold through third parties may lead to users being permanently banned from their accounts and from the game as a whole.
To ensure further protection for our players in against the goldsellers we will have to deactivate the possibility to send gold via in-game mail, as well as the function to send items by C.O.D services.

I have to say that I have always felt that you should not be able to trade gold for diamonds in the first place, as it muddies the separation between real-world cash (diamonds) and in-game currency (gold). What do you think?
