Should players be able to sell Mogstation items?

If you sell it to another player, that money already existed in the game (and had to be produced by engaging in the game), and marketboard taxes will work as a gil sink to permanently remove a fraction of it.

The potential issue here is that by allowing people to sell super shiny mogstation items, that's going to create a pretty strong desire/need for gil. I imagine the bots and actual RMT would be far more active if this were to become a thing. People want their shiny items right away, and not everyone wants to spend the time farming for it.

I can see the arguments for and against making the Mog Station items sellable, and what that might do to RMT - I should have mentioned that in my first post. But I think being able to directly buy gil (or buy items and immediately convert to gil, as was proposed) is more likely to have a negative effect than being able to buy items and sell them to other players.

Why risk an account ban, hacked account or being scammed when you could get your gil 100% safely by buying mogstation items from Enix and selling them?

*IF* you are able to buy the amount of gil needed for an item for less than the actual mogstation price, some people may consider that a decent option. As it is, people already risk their accounts to buy gil, that's not going to suddenly stop just because you can now sell mogstation items.


If RMT prices are still just super crazy and high (again, I really have no idea here..), then I don't think they would be much of a factor. And if that's the case, I'd actually be OK to have the mogstation items sold in-game.

My only concern ATM is that selling mogstation items will create a huge 'need' for in-game gil --> could lead to more bots --> could lead to possible inflation
