So what if people sell platinum and gold plans for gil?

[abzoluut]

People buy in game currency in this game anyway. Why do you think RMT people still spam to this day? It's because they're still making a profit out of it due to the people that continuously buy gil. At least this way SE can pocket the cash themselves instead of it going to a third party.

Or they can use that marvelous scan they used to come up with housing prices a few months ago. So easy to find gilbuyers. Will SE perma ban them? Of course not, they still pay sub which is more important.
