That's kinda half true. It's certainly GGG's intent, and there's no official way to buy in game currency for real money, but you can absolutely buy it through third party websites. So effectively, you can still sell items for real money, you just risk getting banned.

But yeah, you'd be correct that the currency market doesn't really help facilitate that. It was just already happening.
