Why would any game designer think it's a great idea to let players bypass playing their game? Even if that means you need to play in order to acquire in game currency? That's the way it's supposed to work. Selling tokens only serves to bring in more money for the company and allow cyclical players their quick fix before they move on.

There are better ways to deal with RMT spam.
Ummmm.... EVE does it perfectly fine. Quit being ignorant.
