This is just bad for players who make their gil this way. RMT have been in this game for as long as I can remember.

How? Cause I'm not aware of any others beside selling currencies. Selling currencies doesn't put gil in the game it just rotates it. One thing I never understood in this game was why it was so hard to actually farm gil from quest.
Everything like what? The best items in the game have always been priced out of most people's reach.
What exactly is the issue with sparks/accolade farming? Because it can't be because people are buying gil. People have been buying gil way before sparks/accolades became a thing. And from what I heard most gil sellers were leaving the market because it's not worth it anymore. So my original statement stands.
If anything sparks/accolades farming was a combat to RMT.
At this point it seems this has already been implemented so all we can do is wait and see what kind of effect this has on us. I wander what research they did to come to this conclusion.
I'm not sure why SE is doing this (maybe its to combat the bots? I guess the bots are sparks farming?), I have made most of my gil from farming sparks/accolades but I could have so much more from selling my ambuscade currencies. I have less then 100m gil on me but I have hundreds of millions in currencies sitting on a mule.
