Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

Many of the same people who spend real money to play a game. There are plenty of people willing to pay real money to get what they want if they can't get it through other means (and sometimes even if they can because it's less effort).

That's kinda why FFXIV needs some actual gil sinks that aren't player housing. There's enough players at gil cap that they need something (anything) to do with the gil that isn't housing.

The same people who buy gil? Maybe letting the players buy houses via RMT wouldn't be the stupidest. SE would earn money, and more importantly, the bottom would fall out of the gil market, reducing bots on a large scale, and bring some sense back into the market board.

That wouldn't really solve the problem, and may open SE up to legal issues because they would be selling something they can't promise - let alone people abusing the system to keep a house in RMT purchase in a state where it can't be bought ingame for an extended period of time because they are trying to buy it with RMT.

IMO if SE wants to allow us to effectively buy gil, then they should introduce the subscription widget (like what EVE and WoW has) so we can use our gil on sub time.... in addition to other gil sinks that should also be added.
