If that the word to use... for not caring about the value of items. About the same time this buying and selling was allowed not to long after alot of changes to stuff. If this buying and selling thing will be ok I would rather the devs giving fix prices to every thing. (We don't need to know them.)
There's no obligation for game administration to "car[e] about the value of items." Trading is (and should be) done at individual players' discretion and completely subjective definitions of values. If values were enforced, certain trades (e.g. "1.2 mill and a bear armor") would have certainly been overturned/appealed/whatever. It reminds me of someone who bragged about selling something (Plate Over Leather?) for an inflated value then buying it back from the same person for a lower asking price. Enforced item prices would prevent trades like this. Be careful what you wish for if you want more regulation in trading.

There are many issues with this argument. First, donation is not mutually exclusive from buying items. People spending money for items can surely afford the 10 EUR for the free respec, the 25 EUR to design a quest, or 50 EUR to design an enemy.
Second, there's no evidence that supports the idea that "most will buy" rather than donate. Looking at the well-known players (FreakyZ, Personality, Glaxor, rIVOLINO) that bought items, half have donator status on the forum. That's not "most."
Third, what you are proposing is the definition of "pay-to-win," which this community has openly opposed.
God, this guy is unbeatable. I feel defeated in every verbal argument we end up in. Good job, Sir.
