I so hope youre wrong, but I know it is futile to fight the army of
bots and goldsellers.
I know that Blizzard ban thousands of accounts now and then, but I
still think it would have a bigger impact if they banned the accounts
as soon as they have established that they were bots, goldsellers,
whatever.

It's probably true that it will never be stamped out. These people will just
create a new account. If it gets banned, big deal. Start another account.
They can't ban IP address in this case because alot of China plays WoW from
internet cafes. That's alot of money that Blizzard would be losing just from
banning an IP address. Sadly I don't know of another way to stop them apart
from banning any account that accepts gold from gold traders. That should be
fairly easy to trace through their databases I would imagine.
