I know some people who have literally all retainers with max amount of gil. Not counting their FC banks. If the purpose is to break the RMT market, you'd be doing exactly the opposite giving these people the chance to convert Gil in IRL money in a rightful way.
That been said, you also have the majority of people in this game who doesn't have gil at all and that would either make the converting gil into game-time impossible, because of the ratio, or bringing even more RMT to the game.
Also, making gil in FF is something that makes you spend a lot of time, sitting in MB for example, undercutting people and stuff. You wouldn't be playing the game to get more game time, so what's the point?
