My personal favorite solution has always been very simple. Allow the RMT companies to do whatever they want... """PERMA-BAN THOSE WHO BUY FROM THE RMT COMPANIES""" and once people learn the fear of losing accounts, they will stop doing it, and these companies will disappear altogether.
I'd still keep them on a leash. An unbridled bull is never a good thing.
I like the idea. Trouble is to the entitlement generation what is a ban other than a $15 charge on mommy's credit card? To a lot of the current MMO world there is no real hindrance to losing your account. So what you make a new one or you move onto the next game without a thought. It is just a world with no consequences for them.
But overall I do agree with you. If you can combat the buyers of currency then there is no market and the source will dry up. I just wish it was the end all solution.
