This is a horrible idea. The ones to benefit most would be gil farmers/sellers who would then use this as a way to launder huge amounts of gil from one server to another.

That would really only work for smaller/worthless items sold in bulk as most those are run by bots so don't think they be dealing in big items like HQ level 60 crafts and what not.

Buying HQ items is not the point.

Gil Sellers would no longer be limited to selling their stock on just one server. Here's a quick example:

Buyer (Server A): I need 100 mil Gil
Seller (Server B): Put up bone chips for 100 mil and I'll buy it.

Good job just rewording what I said in the first half of my post.

I'm not sure they're doing this. 100M through MB would end in a tax of 5M gils.
So either the customer would be screwed and less people would buy, which is a good point
Or the RMT buy at a higher price so that with the tax the customer still get the right amount which means lots of lost money.

I think either case want to be avoided so RMT shouldn't be a problem on that point

I'm 100% sure they do it. I've seen in done before.

About a month back I was checking the history of a few items. I ran across a sale of an item that was about 5000 Gil. That Item was sold for 84,000,000 Gil. The buyer was a level 16 archer with no other classes/jobs.

The sales price would just be adjusted to compensate for the tax.

That's what I said as my 2nd point. The adjustement of the price by the RMT for the customer to get the right amount make the RMT lose more gils. I dunno the RMT prices, but 5M probably isn't nothing. So doing that for every customer wouldn't be good for their business.

No.

No I do not want this one bit.
