As far as I know, the level hack that's been private for a few months is still working.
I agree it'll slow down the black market though, only because payment options for black market sellers are limited to basically Western Union, Moneypak, or Paypal. And almost nobody uses WU, MP is US only, and almost every seller is scared of charge backs using Paypal. When they had the NX option, they could sell everything for NX, and then sell their NX to their trusted buyers.
I agree, your second paragraph is essentially my reasoning. It forces a local economy, and a lot of worlds frankly won't have a big enough market to compensate the effort to do these exploits. Sure you can do mules and stuff, but it doesn't change the fact the players within the server are forced to use those resources within the server. If there's another item generator/meso generator, then my whole reasoning would be void.
There's a lot of circumstances to consider but the big one is the lack of confident quick pay out, which will discourage many of people, but that's an opinion.
