Seth published an article on his blog documenting his experience with a game containing an in-game purchasing system as well as a link to an article called "Do Social Games Exploit the Mentally Ill?".
15000 gems cost $10. Sure, nobody is forcing you to buy them as you can punch rocks and trees to find them but it's pretty obvious that Seth knows that his game is of the type that may exploit the mentally ill.
In fact Seth even says that "If your business success is dependent on locating people who are poor at discerning value, you’re doing it evil." In the case of Growtopia he's targeting children.
