"To put this into context the amount of gold that does come into game from a player winning the GP prizes is tens of thousand times less than that generated and introduced by Gold Farmers"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't gold farmers generally do nothing more than recycle money, not create it? By that I mean that they gather resources, sell them on the GE for money, and then sell that money to their customers. This process creates no GP. The only way I can think of that they'd be producing so much cash is if the bots are casting alchs on all of their crap drops (rune armor/weaponry and below).
Also, I'm really not sure if the way to demonstrate that something isn't bad is to compare it to something that's worse and say that it's good by comparison >.>
