How botting may Kill this game (even if the game rebounds)

This is a tough situation for SE, they can't very well just reduce everyones gil to 3 million and say "tough shit" or they lose even more players, but they can't leave it unchecked, either. The solution could be a gil sink that take a percentage of a players gil. Like for you to get a mount, you have to do a quest where you are swindled out of half your gil, in exchange for what you think is an extremely rare item, but happens to be a chocobo egg. Which in turn, you raise and it becomes you first chocobo mount .

It wouldn't work because people would transfer their gil to a muel or give it to a friend temporarily, get the choco egg, and transfer it back.
