If my speculation is irrelevant then so are your concerns about there being to much gil in the economy, as I'm not seeing any hard statistics from you, op or anyone that is for this idea. This is all just speculation about the state of the economy, and my opinion as to why it shouldn't be a thing is just as valid as your opinions on why it should be.

The difference in this and getting stuff from other content is if I want to I can easily put a group together to farm those items and work towards it much more easily.

Having a handful of sparklies will not do anything to the people that already amassed a fortune, but it will mean that people that would like those items will potentially be 100x hard to work towards than they would have been if they were just another crafted item.

Also, as I said you don't NEED to buy anything off the MB, not gear or mats. It is completely possible to do it solely by making and gathering everything yourself, buying things on the MB is a convenience, so people do it, that does not equate to being able not to do it.

If SE thought that one time lavish purchases were a good idea I imagine they'd have kept the old housing prices.
