The thing with RMT is it supports a group of people who don't give 2 shits about the server community. Every time someone gives real cash for in-game pixels to a 3rd party they're encouraging someone to monopolize content for profit. These sites live off the demand for their services, if nobody ever purchased from them then eventually they'd move on to somewhere else where they can turn a profit. This would mean fewer people competing for rogue/cleric epic MQs or Ring of Ancient MQs because they wouldn't stand to make any real money on it (which is their goal). Ultimately, with them gone, competition from real players who want to get the items on their own would be diminished or the supply of plat on the server would stop growing at such a high rate and prices would drop.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
