The level of effort has nothing to do with it. More than likely it's something that's been automated by the RMT crowd so they don't really care how much effort is involved. After a certain amount of time they'll be making even more effortless gil. The best part is that it's an activity that is normally invisible to other players which means there's nobody to report them. And that makes FC housing so very attractive to them.

While decoupling workshops from FC housing won't stop the RMT it will remove one of the supply stressors by making housing less attractive for RMT purposes. It would also be a huge QoL fix for FC's struggling to even get a house.

If Square was serious about combating RMT the high value vendor trash from voyage returns needs to be nerfed.
