Also this allows players to set a market for how much they want to pay for these plans so could be relatively affordable depending on the economic situations. Even it isn't it gives you and your spouse something to grind toward to make it seem liked you earned having that platinum wedding. As long as people sell these plans in game, eternal bonding is accessible to all so there really isn't much reason to complain about it.

    Buying Eternal Bands from players
    Player X bought the band, and wants to sell it. Player Y buys it from him for 5 million gil. That gil was on an active player who was spending it on in game trades. Player X now has it, and if they buy items off the market board or from other players, the gil now belongs to Player Z.

    This is currency circulation. There is no inflation of gil being circulated, and is legal.

    Buying Gil off RMT bots
    Player X decides to go to some shady website. Dont buy the gil, it remains on the bot account and not in the circulation of the game currency. Buy the gil, and now there's an abnormal amount of gil gained through inhuman means.

    This gil isn't in the normal market circulation, this inflates the economy. This is illegal.

    Player 1: spends 100 dollars on 5 Bands, and sells them each for 10mil thats 50mil.
    Vs
    Player 2: Has worked hard since 1.0 to level their crafting classes and sells in game gear/items to other players.

    For Player 2 it has taken months of grinding and hard work to make the money that Player 1 has made in just days.
    We could also say Player 1 is single, has a stable job and doesn't mind throwing 100 dollars on the game once a month. This means they gain 50mil a month selling Wedding bands (and maybe a little less selling dyed clothes added onto the 50mil)

    How is this fair?
