    It's much better if they do it through SE and we'd see a reduced RMT presence because it'll gut the market for RMT.

    Nope nope nope nope.

    There was already a 60 page thread about this and most wer against it.

    The way I see it most who would actually want this just want a way to make fast Gil.

    That's EXACTLY the point: people with less time but more money OUTSIDE the game would be selling game sub time to people who have more time INSIDE the game but less money outside.

    No new gil is brought into existence, and it makes it so RMT gil is by far the worse option because you cannot get banned for selling SE's game time.

    Meanwhile, it wrecks the RMT gil market because they have to sell their gil for SO much cheaper to justify buying it over SE's alternative, thus leading to VASTLY less RMT presence in game, including town spammers and random whispers.

    It's worked great in other MMOs and it's a win-win situation for everyone except RMT companies.

    Clearly, SOMEONE is buying gil from RMTers right now, otherwise they wouldn't be continuing to try to sell it.

    The sad truth is that SE can ban all of the RMT accounts they want and it's meaningless: RMTers pay for these accounts with stolen credit cards or they hack people's accounts and use their characters as spambots. The ONLY way to beat them is to take the market for gil away from them, period. NOTHING ELSE is going to work...
