Completely true. However, how would one plan on eliminating demand? The people creating this demand are legitimate game players. The very same people who post different opinions in this thread. NCsoft can't simply remove them.
People have speculated at changing game play mechanics in order to render RMT ineffective. The problem here is that MMORPGs by design are games that thrive on large amounts of playing time to be invested, in order to keep the game interesting while slowly improving a player's progress. So far, developers changing things at such a fundamental level have always ended up with disastrous results... (Star Wars Galaxies and Runescape come to mind).
As an operator, I can safely say the only "gaming" method to end to RMT is by developing self-regulated models using either micro transactions or third party currency sales. Some Asian MMO developers have already started working with large RMT websites in order to establish their own RMT platform.
Gosh... what happened to the times where I actually *played* these games...
