    PF: "WTS sleipnir mount 10m, minions 5m, ghost costume 3m"

    sorry but gifting cash shop items would essentially wreck the economy and turn the game into pay2win.

    Uhhh... that isn't pay to win you know. They're all items that have no impact on gameplay, and only are for aesthetic purposes.

    While I'm not too fond of the idea, it still doesn't sound like 'pay2win'... to me at least.

    If I buy the cash shop item and gift it to someone who is willing to pay me with millions of gil in-game, I can turn around and use that gil to purchase things like materia and 4star crafted gear for example. This is the very definition of pay2win. Paying real life money to obtain items that make the game easier or give me an advantage over others.

    Better just shut down XIV forever, someone might abuse it.

    While we're at it better lock myself in the basement and set the key on fire, someone might abuse my door opening mechanics.

    Like I said, to me at least. I see P2W like the crap that WoW does, offering instant level 90 characters for $60 (lolnothanks), while if you traded in game stuff for cash shop items that feels more like RMT personally. And again, this is my thought on the matter, doesn't reflect what anyone else thinks.
