When you attach a monetary value to game content it further incentivizes the hoarding of said content.

If RMT wasn't as prevalent on the server, you'd see a lot less interest in certain content that is constantly farmed for its RMT value. Instead, you'd see guilds farm content for a while, maybe gear out an alt then get bored and move on instead of keeping it on lock down for 3+ years.

So this notion that RMT is victimless is preposterous. In fact is prolly done the most harm to Red as it is directly responsible for keeping the most toxic elements of the server engaged for so long.

I'm curious too however it was apparently enough to cover Nizzar utilities for 3+ years at the very least.

I'd guess most of it was sold to new guild members without any DKP or traded for blue plat/items to RMT.

GMs need to be stricter with RMT punishments. Permanent ban and character deletion for all offenders and their associated accounts.

I think that is what they do when people are caught. They just don't count people as being caught unless evidence is petitioned to them 26 times along with audio and constant forum quest nagging.
