This might work in EVE where the market is a big big part of the game, but I don't think it would work in FFXIV. Even WoW with it's bigger playerbase might be able to diminish the effects but I could see this very easily wrecking some of the smaller servers here.
Oh come on, this is already happening. Ever heard of buying coil or primal ex run? Heck, the nutters who can HQ 4-star items, these people are pooling points for wealth.

You should also note that people selling game time for gil, compete among themselves and pull down the price, limiting the amount of gil they can make.
