My idea for cutting RMT.

Ehhhh. I don't think Chinese players can login to US or JP servers using the Chinese client.

Indeed, but it's definitely not something difficult to get around. China in general has a very strict set of rules when it comes to the internet. So much so, that they set up what is known as the Great Firewall (of China). To get around this, practically everyone in China that is or knows of someone that is a little tech savvy has installed a VPN to bypass this whenever they have need to. These things don't always work however, as they tend to crack down on these servers, but those devs tend to find ways around it soon after. I'm not sure about today, but a long time ago (~10yrs) it was dominantly Chinese folks doing the RMT related activity. They would simply use Western domains to sell these goods, which was typically under some Western mother IP that benefits from the sales (be it that they had some connection to RMT activity starting or not). There were several documentaries at the time when this whole practice came to light.
