The distinction is neither trivial nor disingenuous. Selling gold requires Blizzard to create it from thin air, which increases a server's monetary base and causes inflation. By selling a commodity that can be traded, the monetary base is not increased and inflation does not occur. There is a big difference between a transferring wealth and printing money.
