I wish there was a way to permanently get rid of RMT in MMOs. Unfortunately I am unable to think of a way. Even with the strictest no drop rules, I imagine someone would find a way to cheat.
It is unfortunate that people feel they need to pay someone else to play the game for them they are here to play for entertainment. Why not bother and just don't play at all? It is called a "game" for a reason. If it is no longer fun and entertaining just walk away.
What can you do? Make every piece of gear is no drop, that will rot upon kill in a few minutes? I imagine you will see someone paying to be two boxed with "Platlord" camping an item for them while in his group. Or the "Platlord" scum of the world will start selling characters that have items on them.
The "Platlords" of the world don't care about your game. This revenue for them, a business. YOU who buy plat are hurting the game you want to be a part of.
