And when it comes to buying items in the future, there will be 200+ people with huge amounts of gil from botting which will artifically increase the prices of all the goods.

Also means the game will probably end up at some point with hyperinflation. For now a lot of people just hold onto their gil, but if something like dynamis currency comes out those people will buy up all of it, injecting the money they hoarded into the economy at a very quick rate, causing all prices to rise drastically. And at that point your 10mil might no longer be worth anything more than a 5 hour farming session, regardless of it taking you 2 months to get it. That happened on FFXI and caused -a lot- of people to quit the game.
So? They can be as rich as they want, you want to know something? GIL doesnt get the item, it has to come somewhere, weather it be quest, or event, or crafted. It has to come from somewhere first, so all those people will hundreds of millions buying/selling stuff, I will just make that stuff, and sell it, and i've made millions from it.

If 10m is only worth 5hr farming session, i'll go farm for 5hrs and get it. Everything a botter can do you can do, because they're only using what the game supplies.
