Contrary to how people feel, if it's done right it can work, but again, has to be done right. It also works better in that game due to a single unified server. The way it works there is that the Money isn't created out of thin air, which is what would happen if SE directly sold Gil for Money. The in game market would determine the price.
The system CAN work, and it doesn't drive people away like you seem to think it will. It just can't be done the way the OP posted.
