Yes...it would be in SE's financial interest to just sell gil. One must wonder why they haven't started already.

Because that is an horrible idea, totally useless & it doesn't make any good in games.

Just look at all the F2P, P2W games. In every single game of this type, you can buy virtual money with real bucks, and guess what ? Pay the most be the best. People quit the games after throwing lots of money and never comes again. A mmo can't live from 400 rotating players. It needs a good playerbase which doesn't quit after 1 month because they can't pay enough to catch the top tier players

Free companies don't just have housing... It's an easy way to post/relay messages to members who log in and is essentially a better communication method than Linkshells are. This is why FCs are chosen over linkshells to organize raids, dungeons and other events.

I also agree this idea is inconvenient. I, as well as others, would leave the game if this was implemented.

Buying gil in this game would never allow an individual to "be the best" by design. So long as raid gear edges out market bought gear, it would never cause issues. The major influx of gil would go towards housing, which is a gil sink so all that gil would disappear almost as quickly as it was generated on the server.

Um, cause it's cheating. Switching the dealer in an illegal activity doesn't fix the problem.

There is nothing illegal about it if SE becomes the vendor. The only thing that makes it against the rules is that it is outlined in the EULA as being so. If that is amended to allow SE to sell gil, then the problem is solved.
