Mercenaries/ Soldiers of Fortune

I read your concerns and opinion. I've considered them and even agree but I don't thing RMT should be an excuse to limit possibilities to the rest of us. For some of us, it's a life style and for some, just a game or a hobby.

That's fair enough, but you have to realize, that pretty much everything you see in ARR has been a direct result of SE deliberately trying to prevent RMT activities by removing possible exploitable functions and gameplay elements that are traditionally used by RMT - it's the reason why there is no proper Auction House in the game, why you cannot send a Moogle Mail message to someone not on your Friend List, or even to another character on your account, why NPC stores only buy back items for a tiny amount, etc etc.

Unfortunately though, someone will always see an opportunity which they can exploit - as long as there is always a market for something, someone will be more than willing to resort to fair means or foul in order to make some quick cash from it.

I'm not trying to be Miss-negative here, but I'm sorry to say the meme 'this is why we can't have nice things,' pretty much sums up this situation. And hence it's the reason why your concept, although a very unique and interesting idea, just would not be workable in FFXIV I'm afraid.
