It's not like people were buying from a busted NPC that pays more for its own goods than the sale price. There was no duping, no hacking, no trickery. It's business sense. I have played enough RPGs to know the first thing to look for in a token currency is a way to convert it into general currency. I was selling dark matter gained through GC before Atomos. Is that not legitimate? Does legitimacy end where vendoring begins?

Dawn drops are recruit-tier items. They have been available since there were seals to redeem. They have always been NPCable. If you could stomach the tedium, you were guaranteed at minimum ~1M gil of dawn drops every earth hour at the height of the gold rush. There was no market delay, no fluctuation in price and no competition. It was literally free money. Are you telling me whatever LEGITIMATE BUSINESS PRACTICE you engage in guarantees you 1 million gil every hour through the market wards?
