Why don't they just sell gil in the mog station?

If they did this, I could ding 50 and buy all the gear and materia that I needed making end game pointless.

But you can do that at the moment. Fair enough you may be playing Russian Roulette with your account by going to gil sellers but the option is there. There must be plenty people going down this route creating a demand for gil otherwise we wouldn't have all the spammers in pretty much every hub on every server.

if those person is against that idea .. do you really think those person will go to those hack website to buy gil and lose account by the hack site and by SE .....think of it.
and anyway im sure those who might be using those site its people who aggree on this topic and buy gil in mog station cos they "did/want to" use those site but since SE is on alert they dont and find a way to not lose their account.

Instead of selling gil in the mog station, what they need to do is stop making gil generation(not gil transfer) so linear. Gil generation is gil entering the economy, gil transfer is gil moving from one hand to another.

Currently, if a person deliberately spends 1 hour a day generating an X amount of gil, then a bot/farmer playing 24 hours a day will generate 24x that amount. That is just bad, bad, really bad, game design.

What square needs to do is frontload that gil generation. They need to change it so that if a person deliberately spends 1 hour a day generating an X amount of gil, then a bot/farmer playing 24 hours a day will only generate 1.5x that amount.

People are still free to transfer however much gil they can make off others, of course.
