Anyone else not understand this logic? If you charge two hundred gil for a house, who is going to bother with a RMT? Compare that to if you charge two million gil for the same house? I've never used a RMT before, but I'd imagine those who do want something that they can't afford to buy from in-game means. What am I missing? Does the RMT problem that he is referencing mean that SE is losing out on valuable RMT subscriptions?

I'm not sure what he means by secondary characters. Could someone explain that for me?
