Coil lockouts: "we haven’t been able to find an alternative system to take its place"

Oh noes 1% of the population will sell clears to 3% of the population. Clearly worrying about less than 5% of the population is a reason to not implement something that will be of great benefit to the other 95%.

And where would the people who buy carries get the gil to fund those carries eh? It's pretty obvious that allowing players to pay their way through top tier content would result in a massive surge in gil buyers... which is precisely why SE doesn't want to allow it.

RMT will exist as long as gil has any sort of value. Gil is already really only useful for: housing, vanity, melds. SE has done a pretty good job of neutering RMT so far as the economic impact of RMT has been minor. Anyone who is against an idea that would be good "except people could sell runs!!1" is just another case of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

People who buy a single clear don't need RMT gil to afford it. People who buy farming sessions are typically full 3star DoH/DoL and play the economy game with a passion.
