10 digits? the max amount of gil you can hold has 9 digits, being 999,999,999. Relic prices were always in the low 9 digits, now it's dropping to 8. "Good" gear was nowhere near 9 digits, unless you count AV items from the few AVs done during the zerg time. The casual players as you call them weren't supposed to have relics and other gear, as those things took time to make. This changed now.
RMT business is to sell ingame currency for real money. How they gain their money is simple.
Exactly, selling Voiddust is a great income for them as a lot of people buy it on a daily basis. Why shouldn't they sell the gil they get from that?
And what changed compared to the Fafnir/Nidhoggsituation? Nothing! 18 people hoping for a good drop.
In Dragon's Aery there where hundreds of people hoping for claim and drop. So Fafnir/Nidhogg didn't droped that good as you said.
What changed? At Kings you were able to decide who gets which drop. Meaning, mages didn't get DD bodies 4 times before people who can use them did, and the other way around. You wouldn't give 4 E.Bodies to a WHM BLM BRD character before your DRK WAR even has one. Voidwatch system is flawed, and can't be compared to anything made in the past. You can't decide who gets what item, it's a random system.
