No. A solution is not always as simple as you can give it. The way the game was coded may have placed restrictions that can prevent them from doing certain things. If likely so, they could have delayed the Eternal Bond system to find a better solution, but you'll see topics complaining about "cancelling my subscription" instead of what we have if they delayed it further.
RMT is not only defined as a player receiving real cash for ingame goods, it is also the purchase of ingame currency for real money. You are effectively skipping over half of the definition.


The tradability of bracelets for ingame currency is called indirect RMT, the person paid real money for an item to convert to ingame currency. While that doesn't have as harsh of an effect on the ingame economy, it does have some. The issue lies in the fact that this also enables pay to win in some areas of the game.
