is the eso community the worst...

for buying gold? I mean to say, if the gold seller problem is the worst in any American mmo then that implies that the gold buyer problem is also the worst. Why do eso people feel no shame in buying gold?

First off, no, this is really the norm for any MMO launch, there are always streams of gold seller ads. What you need to watch is the price, the lower the price the less people are buying from them and the higher either the more people are buying or the harder it is for them to get it. Also if they say takes x time to get gold to you (and x is more than1 minute) it also means that they are constrained and they actually have to make the money to send to you.

Second, not worst, just most foolish. The reason being, short of inventory increases, there's really not that much to buy and prices have been dropping fast on just about everything you might want to buy.

I don't think it has anything to do with the number of gold buyers. Until recently (it's been significantly better the last couple days) there were a lot of goldspammers because the game was new and vulnerable; ZOS hadn't yet figured out how to deal with them. I have a couple theories about what may be happening behind the scenes but that's probably best left unsaid.

I just want an achievement for ignoring gold spammers.

true, once you buy the mounts and inventory space there is not that much to buy in game other than epic mats. once this initial push wears off I dont think there will be much market for eso gold, at least not worth keeping up employees in gold farm groups.

Think it'll drop off after the first month? when the monthly fee goes into action?

So you are ~assuming~ because there are so many Gold Sellers in a NEW game mind you, this shows how the community is? May I suggest a very important course during your educational journey called - Logic 101!

Logic...psh that's right up there with common sense on the super power list nowadays

WoW has a much bigger gold selling/buying problem than ESO and has for many, many years.

I played wow not too long ago and you dont see 1% of the gold spam you see in eso, and wow has free to play accounts so it doesnt cost them anything at all when they get bannned.

WoW's f2p accounts cannot post to trade chat.

The only ways the gold spammers will go away is if ZOS bans them or if the game population drops so low that there isn't any market for their gold selling.
