And this is exactly why a lot of stupid decisions were made when the game first came out. Having severe limitations or completely negating a concept because RMT may use it at their advantage is quite silly.
RMT will always take advantage of any game mechanic, any exploit, any boost/bonus/etc. to get where they want and they'll also cheat while doing it. There's no way to change that.
Tanaka learned the hard way that making your game unplayable in order to fight RMT is a really bad idea.
