Wow the mental gymnastics I see trying to defend this system are astounding and idiotic...

If anyone here thinks this will harm RMT, you clearly have not checked any RMT sites or played any other MMOs in the history of ever.

RMT do not make money because they sell currency, THEY MAKE MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR ITEMS IN THE GAME THAT HAVE VALUE TO THE PLAYERS.
