Should SE sell Gil (similar to WOW Tokens)

Authentic cherry tree: from Mog Shop, not tradeable
Cherry Tree: not from Mog Shop, tradeable, limited supply because from a past event (once placed in a garden it become binded)

Two things.

First, isn't the cherry tree also available in the dungeon after lvl 60 maps?

Second, I think any furniture is transferable regardless of binding. I may be wrong and feel free to correct me, but I thought and I've done this. if you have an FC you can take a piece you bound to you place it in the FC house then someone else can take it if they have the rights to move things around in the house.

And you're 100% sure those braggarts are telling the truth? And you know that a "huge chunk of the player base" is buying gil how? How much rmt gil have you bought and kept without getting banned?

Also who else besides regular players do you think will be buying those tokens? Yep, the botters and rmt dealers. Those tokens will be free for them. They use bots, stolen credit cards and hacked accounts to get what they want and need.

I've seen people who are broke and then the next day come decked out in all the expensive clothing, and buy a house off someone. I've seen this so many times over the years, the fact that there are those ignorant to the amount of gilbuyers that get away with it is shocking.

Do you not notice all the RMT spam? That spam isn't there for no reason, it's there because there is a sizable audience that continues to buy gil.

And that makes 0 sense. How could RMT potentially make a profit off it? They would have to

1. Buy the game (costs money!)
2. Buy tokens
3. Sell tokens at a cost less than they bought

And how would they hack into an account if people aren't signing up for gilseller sites?

Nothing of what you said adds up, no offense.

They should BUY gil.

For tens of millions of gil, you can buy cash shop items. As less gil floods the market, the prices of items will go down. Additionally no one can feed real world $ into the system to generate gil to put into the market.

*sigh*
You don't have to sign up at a gil seller site to get your account hacked. People get hacked in a lot of different ways in a lot of different places. Your favorite legit FFXIV fan site can get hacked and the next time you visit it you get a keylogger that tells the hackers your login info. Your ignorance of computer security doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Buying the game costs money yes, how much of that money would you pay yourself if you used a stolen credit card to buy it? None.
Same with the tokens.
And btw the gold sellers are still alive and spamming away in every other game with tokens. It does not stop them or people from using them.

Just because you don't understand how it's done already doesn't mean other people haven't already figured it out. And they are making money on it.

People say "pay to win". What are you actually winning here? Glamour items? Housing? Gil doesn't mean a whole lot in this game.

highest ilevel crafted gear, overmelded with materias. And content clears.

Let's just file this idea in the "trash" category and move on like good little lalafells...

They'd benefit most from simply implementing countermeasures to the methods employed by RMTers to make money.

IE, they should make everything that's out of bounds an instakill zone, because the gil farming bots are constantly exploiting that the fact that they can't be attacked while floating under the floor using their position hacks.
