Not only that, but it makes gil even more useless when literally any rare item will probably become a cheap lootbox drop in the future. Why spend millions on a fancy pet when it could cost 5k later on.

Most minions and certain mounts are tradable for a reason. It gives you something to sell if you get a lucky drop, or it gives you something to do with your gil. Or it might give you a reason to revisit old content to bolster your collection.

With loot coffers, quick ventures, moogle tomes and so on they're slowly making large amounts of old content and all crafting below max level obsolete.
