I know they were employees; never said they wernt. Xi gil never hit 75 cents a mil. As much useless as gil is now in xi it still doesnt get that low. Removing rmt is not compition. Realistically speakinh if i owned an mmo i wpuldnt get rid of rmts either and im sure se looks at it like that too.

Player A plays 24/7 has all the best gear to do end game efficiently.

Player B plays 2 times a week. Wants to do end game even tho noy efficiently so he buys gil and buys craftex gear that STILL allows you to do the content. Gets carried and thinks hes good so he buys another subscription. Win win for SE.
