Maybe so but, what can you really buy that would help you "win"? A FC house isn't going to get someone a turn 9 kill... buying the best crafted gear available and/or food/potions isn't going to do that either.
Money in this game is really just an annoyance. The only game people can "win" by having gil is the "I am rich" game....

I agree however it would wreck any kind of economy we have if square allowed people to buy gil on mogstation or something. How healthy is our economy really as it is though? Only people that get rich are the people that undercut auctions super frequent. It's not like any commodity in this game is hard to come by or rare. There is always another person willing to sell something for cheaper because stuff is just that widely available.
