Well, how likely is it that such a person has 15 millions to purchase some of the new glamour-gear we got with the last patch? (At least its 15-25 millions for that gear on my server atm)
Or 20 million for the Black Pegasus? Or 50 million for the Shiba-pet (I saw some getting sold for that amount - it has since dropped to the more reasonable but still high price of 4-5 mil)?

I'm not arguing that the current trend of selling runs for real money isnt wrong and worrying - however legit run sells (aka: sells purchased by gil or, for all I care, other trade-offs ingame using ingame currency/means) shouldnt be blamed and blanted statments like "Run selling is (always) RMT or promotes RMT" dont sit right with me. Because you can argue that expensive items on the marketboard promote RMT just as much as run sells do since no one without level 70 crafters can possibly have the gil to pay for those things.
