No, I bet you're thinking of Eve Online, who did it in a limited self-regulating fashion. You can't directly buy ISK (the in-game currency) for real money. at least not legally (even with this program, Eve has gold sellers). What you CAN buy for real money is a "PLEX". A PLEX can is an in-game item that can be redeemed for a month's play time that costs a little more than subscribing for a month. You can sell this to other players for ISK just like any other item. So what you have is good players who make enough ISK that they can buy PLEX from the bad players and play while paying no real-life money. And you have the bad players who can turn real-life money into ISK by selling PLEX to the good players.

LOL. Nope. I'm just saying it's possible to deal with these gold sellers. Wow does it and they didn't do it by caving in to them. You don't get any whispers from gold sellers. The most you get is a shout in trade 3 or 4 times an hour. I played WildStar and even they had figured out ways to deal with it when that game was only a few months old.

It's a nuisance. It can destroy the economy of a server. Accidentally clicking something these people send to you could possibly put your entire computer at risk with key loggers. And it brings into question how they deal with our personal information if something as simple as gold sellers can't or aren't dealt with in a reasonable way.

Perhaps you are simply used to it. Coming from games where you NEVER get this, this was nearly a deal breaker to me.
