Hello there!

Coming from SWTOR where this was "doable", as RyuRoots mentioned, it did increase the RMT situation. This is because generally on SWTOR, any item that was received from one of the packs sold for millions of in game currency. This caused players to choose RMT as a means to get the item they want since the in game currency is cheaper to buy then the packs themselves. I know this is not exactly the same since it is a guaranteed item in FFXIV, but it could still potentially perpetuate the RMT economy.

It's a good thought, in theory, but in practice (in my experience) it doesn't work too well.
