1) FFXIV's economy is actually pretty stable so far as MMOs go, even with 2 years of constant RMT presence, and it's very likely to stay that way far into the future. Godzilla is more likely to knock on your door and ask for guitar lessons than RMT are to make any appreciable impact to any server's economy. They most certainly wont be causing the kind of inflation that would cause us to see grade 1 materia worth 10m.


2) People making RMT threads never complain about the potential impact on the economy anyway. Instead they're always foaming at the mouth over /tells and friend requests because being mildly annoyed is super serious matter apparently.
