That's because their free trial accounts were blocked from sending messages of any kind. Once they went F2P, the RMT came back.

No there still isn't any RMT chat spam to this day, but there's no need because cash shop items can already be traded for in-game currency. There's no profit to be made by RMT companies, since players wouldn't bother to risk going to third-party sites.

Of course, I don't think this solution would be considered preferable either.

This. Games that employ systems that allow you to buy monthly subscriptions with in-game currency or trade cash shop items for currency have little to deal with in the way of RMT because there's literally no market for them. Why risk your account when you can do it legitimately with no risk?
It does carry with it some pluses and minuses, of course. Personally I don't care either way, but the option of being able to earn your monthly subscription through in-game means would certainly be an attractive prospect to many people, and the added benefit of being a means to get rid of RMTers once and for all would be nice.
