Most of the stuff we buy with real money are already by default untradable. So botters don't care about those. The market board ones that players farm or craft are what you need Gil for. And with a F2P model, they would easily level an entire account and use it.
Aion is a perfect example of this. The game is riddled with bots everywhere. And people heavily buy the game currency (Kinah) from other websites to buy stuff from the auction house to the point that prices inflated up to 100s of millions to get stuff (Why wouldn't they if you can buy 45M Kinah with 1$).
