There's a difference between an explicit PL and someone gimping up their party slot and leeching off 7 other people their level. In the former case it's understood that you're exerting no effort. In the latter case it's assumed that you're even trying to pull your weight.

If you have the means to offer a service and people are willing to pay for it, I don't see anything wrong with shouting "capitalism ho!" and PLing someone for gil. Niches being filled is just the nature of the market. Hate it all you want, but unless SE patches something it's never going away.
