JP players do buy virtual currency, just as EU/NA ones would. The main reason you don't see so many of these instances is because of the language. Generally speaking, getting someone that can acceptably put together RMT spam and/or respond to people in English is a lot easier than finding someone to do it in Japanese. Catering to servers that are designed or dominantly populated by JP players isn't going to be a big source of income when you don't even speak the majority language there. Mind you though, the /shout spams aren't very common on a lot of NA/EU servers neither. Even /tells have been reduced a lot since 2.3. Getting 3 or 4 different RMT sending a /tell is a lot better than the 15-20 we were getting prior to.
