Throw in the existence of a legal route, players will feel safer taking the legal route, token selling will have a competitive advantage v.s. buying from a shady spammer.

The end result is that it screws over RMT because they no longer have a monopoly on RL money to gil conversion.
Nope and Nope.

Every game that has done this, the RMT just buy up all the tokens and resell them. Why bother with all the botting now they can just buy the player tokens and resell them.
