Do you think sell groups are hurting end game community?

I guess I should narrow my grievance. I dislike RMT being used to skip content in any way, shape, or form. I dislike people using gil, to bypass what should be an exercise of skill and teamwork.

Crafting is a lump of effort and time. Using gil you made through crafting, to advance crafting, is using previous extra effort to skip some time.

And I don't really have a comment on trying to relate a video game's effort and accomplishments to farming for a living.

Do you know what a metaphor is?

Anyway, from what I'm seeing, it seems the base of a lot of the anti-sell arguments is that run sells are so expensive that the only way people can afford them is to buy gil through RMT.

That's untrue.

Most runs don't cost double-digit millions. They cost single-digit millions. (And for some really old content, not even a million per run)
These costs are not even remotely out of reach for many dedicated crafters.

Do you really think these kind of people is the majority of kill buyers?

Without any concrete statistics, nobody can say for certain in either direction.
