So why no Ruby Carbuncle gear?

[Awha]

Snip. . .

If I recall games like SW:ToR and WoW both allow for cash shop items to be bought and gold off their respected version of Market Board. SW:ToR market is horrible due to item duplication exploits that went unchecked for months and how Bioware never removed the credits from players. Prior to those duplication exploits the market was fairly stable and outside of one RP server reasonably priced. Nevertheless, RMT is not going anywhere, so I personally I see little point in inconveniencing players who have more in-game currency to spend instead of real life. I know it is not a popular idea, but I do not think that opening the markets would cause such a max influx on RMT then we already have.

I am not sure how many players are like myself that will never spend their own money on cash shop items and just buy them through friends using gil. If they made it easier to buy and sell items on the market board maybe more people will buy duplicate items for resale on the market board. In a way legitimate RMT, if you cannot beat RMT why not join them and make some money off of it. I know this will never happen though, I mean this is the company that patches out a means to add your own alts to your friends list so you can mail between them. I do understand why players and SE may not like the ideas of legitimized RMT so more of a pipe dream of mine.
