Has been playing TERA for quite some time on and off, never get any RMT spam at this point and I'm on the busiest PvE server.
Yeah no, RMT virtually has nothing to do with jacksquat and is infact hurting from being able to sell Cash Shop items.

Fat chance of that happening, RMT will continue as long as it is profitable for gold farmers.
RMT are now directly competing with SE for that extra bit of money that both RMT and SE know the players have. If anything I can see them becoming more aggressive, offering "better" deals @___@;
RMT will stay. They will just undercut whatever $ -> Gil ratio people who do RMT through Cash Shop items do. You could literally buy gold on Guild Wars 2, RMT were still there, and they just gave you a better rate than the official in-game services did. If anything, it just encouraged people to RMT more as there was means to do it "legally" do, and once they made the step into RMT, they were happy enough to make the step over to some dodgier places to get better rates.
Now I see shouts and PF ads from players...great
Yeah because all that gil people are using to buy the bands from people who bought them from the shop is going to magically appear out of no where.
No, it's not. If anything, it will promote RMT.
