Things I'd definitely like to see implemented in the game so far

[Effendi]

• Ability to pay for game sub, in whole or in part, using gil (at a reasonable exchange rate)

Hard NO.

Just check how much grief WoW token or EvE plex are generating.

I'd add Ability to sort goods on NPC vendors

I would say why not? The mogshop is just a byproduct of copying WoW, might as well embrace the future rather than beat around the bush, lol.

The Mogstation items predates WoW Tokens and the vast majority of items purchasable outside of Collector's Edition bundles on WoW.

As for the larger topic... Integrating Tokens to allow for a direct and in-game trade between game currency and real-life currency may take a bit of business away from the shadier sides of RMT, but adds even more incentive to proceduralize and optimize in-game economics and greatly increases the rate of (now-legitimized) RMT interactions. The effects have, by the measure of most communities, been more harm than good to most regions thereby provided (with the only silver lining being better pricing for regions who pay a higher equivalent of the game's home country's currency than other regions, usually due to legal hurdles or market complicators otherwise faced).
