Depends on the context too, IMO. Is 1000 dollars for a down payment on a house 'small peanuts'? Absolutely. Is 1000 dollars for imaginary pixels in a videogame that drop every single week 'small peanuts'? Not really, IMO. But I guess some people are willing to drop that kind of cash on video game loot, whereas I'd rather play games for fun and save my money to pay bills.

I'm inclined to agree with you it's unlikely that sort of RMT is happening frequently if at all, though. We'd probably know if it was, and then the staff would know and it would be stopped (unless we believe there's a secret RMT conspiracy, of course).
I just think if it were being done it would have to include only a very small percentage of the population to keep it secret and with such a small active population that really narrows it down to very few people who would be actually doing RMT.

Usually greed gets the best of people, and it leaks out very quickly if nefarious activity such as RMT exists, because a salesperson typically will branch out over time and people talk.

I only had one person actually send a tell offering RMT when I was selling stuff in EC. I immediately sent a petition in, because I didn't want any link to this guy and I got a tell back from staff fairly fast that they were investigating it.

Admittedly, I am not in a big raid guild, I do not partake in that scene at all. I am naive to it a bit. Still, never see any smoke.
