Thats called Mercinery groups, they are apart of every MMO, and it stops people who maybe dont have a linkshell that can do the content to get the gear, also U/U merc'd gear usually costs alot because of how many people you probably dont know are going out of thier way to help you, I remember in FFXI there was alot of gear merc'd that cost over 50mil because of the reasons like rarity, the amount of people needed to kill the NMs etc.

I think instanced NMs should drop gear, but that needs to be balanced with crafting gear being a viable option ie not gimp, but not as good as the NM gear, this allows the crafters and gatherers to make money while people work on getting the ultimate gear from endgame, and while content is rolled out and new recipies it can carry on, that way everyone gets what they want. Its what FFXI did and it worked, FFXIV should learn from that, rather than forcing people to level every craft, know people with every craft leveled for gear or have over 200mil for a full gear set in this broken economy.
