You guys probably don't realize it's usually people from 3rd world countries where 20 american dollars can go a long way. You guys seem to think they are somehow hacking the game and selling gill to people, they are probably spending more time in the game farming with crafting classes or gathering classes than anyone else then when they accumulate enough gil through legit means (sometimes not so legit if using 3rd party software to bot) they just turn it around and sell it for real money that they use to put food on their table. If you really think of it, of all the crooked ways a young teen with no food and money could do (ie pornography/prostitution etc..) going into a game and exploiting the game economy for real money is probably the least hazardous alternative job they can do. That is just my 2 cents
