RMT and all the spam and other bullshit that goes with it is just an unfortunate fact of life for a lot of games. :/
I think the point OP is trying to make is that several other games handle RMT situations with more success (i.e. GW2/WoW, you'll rarely get in-game RMT notices in those games and they have populations equal to or more than this game currently). Moves like these are amateur if it was solely done for the responsive purpose.
