As someone who experienced the massive inflation that occurred on FFXI due to rampant RMT activity (which caused me to quit playing the game, seioursly had to pay 23 million gil for a Scorpion Harness when the inflation was really bad, and by that time Scorpion Harnesses were quite ubiquitous) I'm glad they're taking this measure to hinder RMT, which is really what they're doing. I'll deal with the inconvenience of using a friend as a go between to send gil if it means that the game economy will be spared. RMTs already have WAY too much control over the game market and this makes it that much harder for them to efficiently f@#$ up the game economy
