I've been thinking about transferring servers for a while. Every time I check the MB, I buy up all the allagan coins and demimateria that are not outrageously overpriced. It's probably not efficient as I could just buy items that resell at a profit, but I prefer knowing I will have the gil immediately without relying on the MB.

So, I will have 5m from selling that stuff alone. That's gil that's not in the market, that's not player to player. It's straight up taking a large amount of raw gil from one server and moving it to another. If you actually put more effort into the process, I'm sure you could quickly accumulate a much larger amount of cash tokens -- so sitting in PF rather than just relying on the MB.

If people want to move a large amount of gil, they can. Your markets aren't safe from anything. So, that's not why the limit exists. If it is, then it's a horrible reason.
