Because the entire game population sits in one area. Most of the time you're playing, you'll be constantly moving around. You'd only risk RMTs if you stayed in one place that's heavily populated for a long period of time.
You don't seem to understand how many missed tells this solution would bring. It would significantly cut it down no matter what they did. Even if they had a bot in every single zone. You'd just have to ignore that one to stop it for that zone.
Not saying it would stop them entirely. That isn't possible. But it would make a huge day and night difference in the amount received.
Best passive solution Ive seen, by far, for protecting your account is that IP tracking, account lock thing they had with Rift. Sign in from a new IP and it locks your account with a passcode thats sent to your email. Locked accounts can play, but no communicating or mail/bank transactions until you put in the code. It saves the IP as well so it wont pester players repeatedly.
IMO they should do this at least for those who do not have a registered Security Token on their account ... with the option to do both.
