That's news to me, being on a non-legacy server with lots of non-50 people who are taking it slow.
Same with gil, yes there are some rich people on the non-legacy servers, who know how to play the market AND have lots of time to gather/craft on their hands, but I imagine that the majority of players is not sitting on millions of gil on these servers.
(No, I do not state that as a fact, it is just a conclusion based on observations I have made).

Also, you need to understand that there isn't only one single economy person at SE working, but several groups addressing different topics. The server transfer has nothing to do with RMT and botting. Allowing one potentially bad thing just because there exist other things that are (obviously) worse for the economy, doesn't make any sense.
