What can SE do to counter this properly, the only reason I can see people buying Gil from these people is the following;

- Lazy crafters wanting to buy Mats
- Buying an House or FC Hall
- Buying Glamour and Minions

What could SE do to solve this

- Have a Token system for house purchasing, you would acquire these token similar to how you do the anima weapon now by trading "market prohibited" items to them. Depending on size of the house determines how many tokens would be required. The FC Hall would be cost more but all FC members could interact with the NPC and the currency would show up in the FC window like the coins do now.

- Crafting Mats, there isn't anything we can realistically do here because by the nature they are a trade-able commodity, same with the Minions and Glamour I guess.

But by taking away the single most largest purchase players will make in game the sale of Gil for real money could take a nose dive
