    One thing to think about when designing the system is in-game
    fraud/duping/etc. that can be annoying for players when it's all
    "virtual", but would be a complete game killer if they're actually
    losing or gaining real-life cash.
    
    Somebody else mentioned Eve as a good example of a working economy. But
    they deliberately do not clamp down on scams and cons, since that's the
    distopian world they want. Once RMT-based, those players would arguably
    become subject to criminal prosecution, which is quite a frightening
    prospect.
    
    The issues involved in an RMT-based game are possibly more ethical than
    technical, I'd imagine.
