The price would have to be astronomically expensive to even try and undercut RMT and even then this game has so many passive / active forms of income that bots could easily use that it would probably not lead to the result people would expect.
Could be true, but it seems like there are a good amount of crafters that have ridiculous amount of gil stored up, this alone would I think make the gil price for a sub very high to the point that it would be hard for RMT to compete.

I don't think there will be enough supply for those gill billionaires to have free real money sub for years, thus the price will naturally go way up to adjust to the demand.

Unless I'm overestimating the wealth of many gillionaires.
