Botting and RMT is not P2W. P2W is when the company itself focusses the game on making money by making it hard up to impossible to get better without spending money.
Per se botting or RMT CAN go in this direction IF the game is P2W - that's why P2W games are much more intolerant against bots and hacks, because it ruins their money machine.
Yes, you can bot in WoW and every other game, but overall: this won't make you the most powerful player. Same for RMT or token. You can buy some items, sure, but overall, you can only get items which other, better players than you already have, since you get them from those players.
If you could buy these item directly from Blizzard and so on, yes, than you could call it P2W. If you just give them 1000$ and get a whole Mythic Gear set = P2W. If you pay players 1000$ to gear you full mythic, that's not P2W. That's simply not what the term is about. You take all meaning out of it, when you treat it like that.
