Ok, so SE doesn't want people to buy gil; yet every time there is a way to make easy gil they take it away. I would assume they would rather have people be super rich with out supporting the RMTs but no. They apparently want to make it harder for people to resist the allure of RMTs. I personally thought they put the Chocobo blinkers to finally combat the allure of the RMT route. But no it was just another one of their accidents a.k.a. bad programing. Would be lovely if they actually put a measure that ensured RMT wouldn't ever survive again in the game. But it must be like I said many years ago... RMTs are disgruntle GMs that were fired. Or maybe RMT = SE trying to make double money off us on the down low; instead of adding an Item store or something like that. Add something in the game to end RMT. If you're so concerned about the game economy then add a NPC that sells Seals, +2 and Relic items for large amount of gil. Many people will use that NPC I know I would. Instead of wasting hours on end trying to get just the right group to kill a NM that might or might not drop items we need.
