If players can convert a cash shop item into Gil, it gets a huge no vote from me.

No legalized rmt. Bad enough they have a cash shop already.

The arguments of it helping people who cannot afford the game. It is <50 cents a day... if you cannot afford that, well not to be mean, but you should be focusing on other priorities in life over a game. (to put it perspective... it cost you more to drive 7 miles a day then it does to play FFXIV, at least in most parts of the US)
