100%,the average player has no way to make real amounts of gold. No GDKP pots, impossible to farm (mining, herbing) with all the bots flying around or under the ground, and if you don’t have say a Mage or Hunter hard to instance farm. Most people that were anti-RMT have resulted to RMT to buy consumes to raid.
I am broke as hell and still saving for epic mount. I have 300 mining and routes I’ve used on era that made me decent gold I barely can find a single node to mine on anniversary because of the Bots.
