Hell, ridiculous accelerationist disaster logic chains aside, this is literally my stance. If S-E isn't going to take official action against people exchanging $ for Gil using their own system, I'm going to make the game (and their jobs) that much more miserable by making my next paycheck's fun money portion go toward 3-5 million gil in my pocket. I'm not marrying anyone any time soon, and I've got a market curve to keep up with so I can afford mats/materia/etc to boost my economic standing ingame. If the first one goes over well, I might even buy a second to keep exploiting the system while it's broken! All S-E is really saying here is "Limited-time offer! $20 for 5,000,000 Gil!*"

(*Ingame market prices may vary!)

It's hunts all over again, except now with cash.
