There is no way to eliminate RMT and combatting it is a waste of resources from a publisher's perspective because secondary markets increase demand for primary markets. That is why the industry has shifted to a micro-transaction model. It is more profitable.

Obviously on a free to play service there is no additional revenue to be had by supporting it, but combatting it is still a drain on resources. It is a drain with little reward :/ I say kudos to the team for the regular purges they conduct of RMT related accounts. That in itself is a thankless undertaking.
