The subscription fee is what pays for the development and maintenance of the game.

The system you describe is exactly what Pay-to-Win is. Not in the literal sense that you "win" the game, but that players who have access to a more disposable income will come out on top by using their real life resources to boost their in-game resources and be able to afford things easily that other people cannot.

It basically destroys the notion that "Everyone has equal footing in this world. What effort you put into the game determines what you get out of it."

With your system in place, what is stopping a player from charging $500 worth of Crysta (Example Number) to their packs, then selling those for Gil and then buying the best stuff that is either purchasable outright, or that they can acquire by paying a linkshell to do it?

This is why RMT in general is an problem.
