none of those solved the RMT problems. They just legitimized turning the game into a job for some people and having those types of players in a game is never a benefit for the community. Like you said, they just wanted a cut, but the problem was still there.
Blizzard removed the auction hall from Diablo 3, because it was ruining the game.

I agree the auction hall ruined the game, but not the RMT part of it. Just the whole concept of an AH for in game gold or RMT turned the game into total dogshit and it took multiple years and more or less a complete redesign of the game to fix it.
As for the MMORPGs, I guess "solving" the problem is relative. For a company the amount of time spent by CSRs on RMT related things probably dropped by a huge amount, and their profits went up. I'm sure the brass over there considers the problem solved.
