If selling one commodity is a legitimate way to get gil from another player, why isn't a time-token valid? Both need to be gathered in one way or another, both are available to players (some having more RL cash than time, some having more time than RL cash), and both need to be placed onto the market board for another player to buy...
The more people put up the tokens, the less the demand would be and one player may end up selling their token for less, which means they can't buy all of the gear they want.
It isn't pay-to-win if someone purchases those item by doing in game because they literally had to play the game to get the items. Pay-to-win means buying power in the game using real money. It would be the equivalent if they added high ilvl gear sets to the Mogstation. You could right now get a full 320 set of HQ and melded gear with real money if a PLEX like system existed in game right now. That is close to what the power of Creation tomestone gear.
