I agree with this run selling for real money being a problem - but I wasnt arguing about that but rather against those who dont like run selling at all and are using scammy things like this as an excuse to ban run-selling at all. And thats something I do not agree with.
Again: I'm not a fan of it myself, I never bought a run and I never made gil from selling runs. But I can accept that even people who dont like gathering/crafting need a source of income and that run-selling is just as much a service as selling crafted goods or crafting-leveling-kits (something the person I argued against ironically considers perfectly legit and "working as intended" when one could say "There are no crafting-level-jump-potions on the mogstation, so that has to mean that the intended way to play is to level your crafters yourself")

All I wanna do here is to remind people that run selling for ingame currency is legitimate. You dont have to like it personally, neither do I. But it is something we have to tolerate and to claim that everyone who buys runs also buys the gil to pay for it, is wrong. The argument that run selling promotes RMT is just as right as saying that the Black Pegasus promotes RMT, yet no one argues about removing the Black Pegasus. Or argues to put a cap on item prices (as in: you cant sell item XY for more than 2 million gil) because we accept that its a free market. To me a service like run selling is just as much part of that free market - "But there isnt a 'market board' for run-selling, so it must be wrong!" - There isnt a 'market board' to recruit for FCs either. Or to offer your service als crafter. Or to find LS. Just because its something players organise themsel doesnt make it automatically wrong.

Again: I do not support run selling for real money.
However I do consider run selling for legit, ingame earned gil fine. Yes, still.
