    Wait, add the ability to pay your sub in gil and you think that'd take business away from gilsellers? Only 1 of 2 situations can happen here: it becomes either more efficient or less/just as efficient to pay your sub by buying gil. If it becomes more efficient, gilseller business goes up. If it's less efficient, they're completely unaffected, unless of course gil becomes more scarce ingame because of people paying thru legit-gained gil, and then again gilseller business goes up.

    Yes, they get competition from a source that is completely safe and risk free. No chance of being scammed, hacked or getting your account banned.

    The WoW token worked on a demand/supply basis, if demand was low the price dropped, if demand was high the price was higher. Therefore if the RMT sellers were giving a much better deal, the Token market would adjust and push them out.

    Basically it worked like this. You pay 20 euro for a token. You sell it on the MB for gil. The buyer can then exchange the token for 14 euro in crysta or a month sub. Enix makes profit (which is better for the game) and both players involved benefit from something they couldn't get otherwise. It actually worked fine in WoW. It would also give gil a purpose.
