Please remove the cap on Sparks points.

1) Make all spark gear to have 1gil sell value to NPCs
2) Remove the cap on Sparks

The problem with this is as a new/returning player, vendoring sparks gear is a legit way to get a quick early boost to your gil, allowing you to get the things you need, specially since selling skill up books has slowed down dramatically. As a veteran player, it's not really worth the time to do so, but it doesn't hurt, either, if you have no need for tales, skill up books, or CP rings (where a majority of my sparks go anymore, barely make more than I use on rings with Incursion).

Is the 50k cap really such a hindrance to people? I've never really found issue with it, except when doing a CP party in Dho/Woh Gates during the Exp daily; that caps you ridiculously fast with everything else tossed in.

If we want to call it legit then there's no reason to do it. Your argument was essentially that it isn't legitimate because RMT can do it to farm gil. We can just raise the cap without nerfing anything. Also another factor here is these items are all common crafted items, so nerfing them hurts people leveling up a craft.

Remove the hassle of the cap. I assure you, RMT are hassled equally, not more or less, by the cap if they actually abuse that (which I highly question whether they actually do or not). This game isn't even big enough anymore for RMT to be serious business.

The other option is scratch the above and do the nerf because it "isn't intended" to be able to farm for gil at all, early or otherwise. (I don't agree but you need to decide which camp you're really in)

I never gave the argument of RMTing, I gave the argument that un-capped sparks would be far, far too easy to bot, endlessly. You could easily bot it now, but the cap makes it only so valuable, unless you had something more advanced. The publicly available exploits don't have such functionality built in, just grind, grind, grind, which un-capped sparks would foster to a whole other level.

By being legit, I meant something easy that new/returning players should do early on. I had a friend recently come back, and that's exactly what I told him to do while leveling up. He's well into his 70s now with a couple million standing by to help gear up and buy spells once he gets to cap.

Having a system with as many varied uses (skilling up, gearing up, RME pages, CPs, gil) is good. But unchecked, it'd lead to massive inflation, similar to what happened when Chocobo Blinkers were a thing. Unless you think someone afk botting with a party of mules nearby for days on end, cashing in millions upon millions of sparks for even more millions upon millions of gil is a-ok. I think the easier solution is the one in place, pay attention to your sparks, cap, warp, and use them.

Seriously the cap does nothing to stop RMT. They can go dump their points like anyone else.

I'd much rather see them nerf the sell value of stuff bought with points (they should probably do that anyway, because RMT) than maintain the silly cap.

I don't mind there being a cap but it should be at least 100K

There isn't really any reason to make this tradeoff unless there actually is significant RMT abuse of it (which I honestly doubt) . They should just raise the cap. at least double it.

Honestly i dont think RMT even bother with this game anymore.
