Nerfing sparks and unity enchanges for gil is not the answer.

I didn't see any proof?

The very guideline I showed was proof (re: proof; not evidence).

Facebook doesn't have a Securekey. I have a physical key. obviously something that can't be accessed unless someone actually grabbed it off my desk.

Yeah, which further proves the fact most people give no shit about security.

Just consider the fact that Facebook passwords have been saved in plain text ever since it went into beta over 14 years ago (even then, we knew plain text was a bad solution), and they're most likely still saved to plain text, yet somehow two billion people have continued to use it. If people cared about security, Facebook would never have made it past beta. (Then on top of that, for years there was a way to glitch the Display Preview into hacking someone else's account.)

Then, on top of that, there's the fact that the majority of people still fall for phishing scams despite the fact that phishing is the most renown scam on the internet, and the cherry on top: people still wind up giving their passwords to complete strangers who claim to be admins even when it's written in big, bold letters that: "WE DO NOT ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT INFORMATION."

(Oh, and while I'm at it, you can bet that there are numerous high-profile officials who continue to hold insecure passwords to their primary email like, p@ssw0rd...)

So again, how can you possibly expect other people to take proper security measures?

And you talk about OTP; I use 2FA and 30 to 80-character passwords for everything. Hell, you wouldn't find my real name anywhere on the internet; any search for it will bring back an obituary as the first result; a Facebook account that doesn't belong to me for the second; and one of the most renown film directors for the third.

If you just search for ffxi gil, you'll see that gil prices were around $0.25/1 million gil, now they are between $1-5/1million gil.

That's not even remotely a noticeable difference. I remember back when 1 million gil cost $25, and yeah, you can bet your ass that it was worth it to a lot of people.

I cannot imagine being into this game so much that it was worth $100 minimum for a SU5 weapon (let alone how much it cost to upgrade it).

Sounds like a steal to me. For someone working, say, $5/hr, that'd only be 20 hours of labor when getting an SU5 is going to take a lot longer by any legit means. Since most people in the U.S. do not even work that low, it becomes an even bigger steal.
