FFXIV - A Step to P2W (My 2.45 Feedback)

wait you mean, SE didn't put all this into the game on purpose and the cash shop ISN'T the terrible game destroying monstrosity i thought it was? SORRY BUT THIS CANNOT BE TRUE *buries head in sand*

It's just the most likely conclusion. Given that they don't deem trading the Bracelets a violation of the ToS (No idea on gil), we can safely assume that the Bracelets were intentionally set to be tradeable for the reasons I've stated above. I do think that the whole "selling for gil" issue was an oversight by the developers they weren't expecting. In short, it is the player that decides to sell it and it is the player that decides to buy it that is causing this whole pay-to-win fiasco that we are discussing about.
