It's time to reevaluate the idea of adding a PLEX/Chronoscroll-like system to FFXIV

Also while it is possible third party RMT will make less money it isn't automatically known, by increasing demand they could find a better pricing point (selling 100 gil for 100$ once a day vs 100 gil for $10 two hundred times a day).

How many people do you know that would be willing to risk losing their account forever just to get a marginally better deal than what is being legitimately offered?

While I don't think it is a small group of people it is also important to recognize that it is probably a lot of big whale return customers, who were already comfortable being illegitimate. Then they are given the option to pick the better return on investment with some hazy possible punishment in the future, maybe. Numbers not known, it is not known or imo important if third party RMT makes less money as the point is the RMT, the real money trade, and not the fact that it is third party.
