And it also did more to damage the economy than RMT did. RMT only use existing game mechanics to make gil to redistribute. Blinkers were a way of streamlining gil effortlessly from the ether into the economy. For example, when you kill an NM or do a BC, that's an instance where 1 or 2 items of massive gil value drop. When 16 people earn cruor while 1 person dualboxing kills mobs, thats 18 perpetual gil-machines (players and RMTs) gaining significant gil-value on otherwise useless items (Cruor, and by extension Blinkers).
