I'm ok with buying stuff in the game with real money as long as those items are cosmetic only and untradeable. Anything that would give players an advantage will never get support from me, the ideas might be good but as soon as people can buy gil with real money this idea will become something else. The thing Ubisoft is doing with AC3 where you can buy yourself the best stuff in multiplayer is something that needs to die in a fire.
So, gil wasn't being bought and sold in the game right? People who have the RL money to spare weren't doing it all the while. Is that what you're saying? People keep making statements that insinuate that RMT don't exist already. You pretend they don't exist and have no real idea how the economy has been affected already. Then you come and project that great economic peril we befall us if something like is implemented.

Gil sellers already exist. They are going to exist in 2.0. People will buy gil. People will complain about Gil sellers. Nothing can be done because we know that we've seen obvious RMT names (uyouffffffu) that have been around for long periods of time without being deleted. Gil sellers are subscriptions that provide SE money. Let's accept these facts ok?
