Not at all. I said, in the full sentence in context 
“If I had to guess, yes, people are buying gold for consumables.”
This is called a conversation, where I am speculating that consumables are probably one of the highest in demand things that players would likely buy gold for if they are inclined to swipe. I say this because after raiding for 20 years across multiple versions of this IP, consumables are consistently used and depleted, and are a must have for anyone serious about raiding. Enchants are one and done as long as you don’t replace the item, same with gems when those come out. Mounts are one and done. Consumables actually deplete as you use them, thus you run out and need more. These range from food, scrolls, pots in all flavors from util, damage, defense, etc, and more. One can either farm these in bulk that lasts for a longer period of time, or farm in short bursts more frequently, farm gold to buy them, or the easiest option would be to buy gold then buy the consumables. If one is going to buy gold, I assume they’re buying gold for consumables as this is the fastest way to get your consumables ready for raid without needing to invest quite literally hundreds of hours overall farming.
I’m not encouraging anyone to buy gold. This is just my speculation as to why someone would buy gold and how they would spend it in game.
I’m sorry if this is too intellectual of a conversation for you, especially since you just baby raged at me and said I’m “harassing players” because I don’t support class changes for fresh, but do quell your baby rage for a second and actually think about what I’m saying, and what your response is.
Or don’t. I expect very little from you after reading this
I mean, you really can’t set the bar lower but somehow you’ll surprise me.
