even if you would remove all gold and fresh start, people would just buy it with retail $$$ tokens or their retail millions which they farmed up before classic was even released, completely legal, all over again:
GM confirming it is legal:

Couple hundred Goldsellers in official forums, for months on end, no bans ever:

Why remove gold or freshstart when pay2win and goldbuying over retail token is daily business for everyone anyways? I mean some poor idiots would have to grind ZG or work for their gold all over again but that just delays the process of traders buying their grind.
The single only thing i can not buy for gold / $ from blizzard store right now is pvp rank and when TBC release i will just pay2win token myself into 2,2k+ arena team…
as long as the Token is in Classic and retail/classic trade is explicitly allowed, fresh starts do not change anything
