There is a single reason why SE will never do something permanently about RMT. Money.

Every time you are sent a tell, that means that RMT either paid for the game or hacked someones account. Since many (but not all) RMT companies aren't interested in that, that means they are paying SE money. When SE bans them for messaging, they go out and buy the game again (using money they made from people buying the currency)

This is also a consistent stream of income for SE and they are not going to permanently remove income by making it totally impossible for RMT to operate. They are a business after all and everyone has the means of blocking people by using the /busy to block tells.

They are doing the minimum of showing they are banning players for RMT but still allowing those people to repurchase the game again which also helps pay for your new content/expansions. To SE it is like a "win/win" situation. Banning an appropriate number of accounts for RMT while still allowing situations for RMT to not totally give up and find a free to play game to spam instead of paying SE money.
