The thing is that if I am a gil buyer, I won't even consider playing on that server in the first place. Imagine if there's a cash shop that sells all the best gear, I'm going to assume that everyone on that server will be buying the best gear. You still don't have an advantage over anyone else, but I am paying double/triple the subscription fee compared to a normal server. Why not just play a normal subscription then?

Also, it gives the game a very bad reputation as many p2p players will be uncertain if the game is heading towards a p2w direction and will probably leave the game. (p2w being synonymous with RMT)
