As for legit transactions we have:
1. Market board - yeah, people bitch and moan about the fees, but what was the last time you got a totally free checking account?

Due to the way the market board functions, you can just take the hit from the fees but transfer the gil via a transaction by selling something like a bone chip or femur for 5M or w/e the amount of gil that was bought. RMT buy it, you get your gil. Fixing this flaw in the market board and making it more like FFXI or WoW's AH would solve this huge loophole RMT use on top of fixing one of the primary flaws in this game's economy from being able to know you can undercut rampantly.

Also, there are people who legitimately transfer 1M or more a day via the in game mail. It certainly is a hindrance to us. And again like the limit on how much you can trade, it is a measure that hurts average players more than those engaged in RMT, because they'll just find a work around (i.e. the old face to face trading or market board shenanigans I described) for any system you propose.
