Because of more customization? What does that have to do with RPGs and not thousands of other non- RPGs.

This is tangential to the topic, but whatever. I consider it an RPG if it features story-driven development of persistent characters via the making of consequential choices. But your opinion is different, great, let's move on.

In this game, it's pretty horrible. The farmers need to be put out of business, and the best way to do that is to remove the need to use them.
...By encouraging people to spend money for gil? Its a problem, let's cut out the eye to spite the face.

RMT is a problem because of people who want instant gratification, and are often willing to cheat to get what they want.
Legalizing RMT is a way to cheat without penalty.

How is this good again?
