WoW Token Restiction Doesn't Make Sense. Who Is This For?

Reaction to the WoW token Restriction

“In order to preserve the integrity of the game and provide a better token market to players.” Smells like corporate greed speak for “we know you’ve been using this system correctly, and how it was designed, but give us your money.” Is this really hurting the game? I haven’t noticed any issues at all. If it’s to counter bots then I take it all back, and I’m fine with it.

Can someone explain this like I'm 5?

So does this mean that if I’ve never purchased a token from the online shop that I can’t purchase a token from the AH? That’s sort of counter productive, right? Can’t reply to the original post, thus why I’m asking.
