It can be a problem if you are also farming in 'their territory' for something legitimate or just to make cash for your char. They'll steal kills and try to duel (gank if you're opposing faction) you. If invited to groups they will attempt to steal loot (ninja) to meet quota. They do inflate prices and define awfully high prices on certain items making it harder for us as genuine players.

Overall, it is a problem for this game but not one you have to experience directly or will probably run into often, in a personal sense. And some games are terribly worse off. Blizzard insist they don't tolerate it and claim to have closed thousands of accounts due to farming.

So your answer is yes it's a problem but for the average player no, not really. I am certainly aware of them, know people who foolishly teamed with them once or twice and know where to go looking if I ever want to find them, but all in all I don't grapple with it daily or have it interfere in my playtime.
