I do sort of feel like if Blizzard wanted to enforce stricter anti-RMT measures than it has been, and is worried that the arms race type battle between RMTers paying to help advance bots is a losing one, they could fund their own efforts with fines.

I do not feel that I am particularly aware of how much RMT and other such activities actually impact my day to day gameplay, and as they say “Ignorance is bliss.”
