The "unfairness" can be relatively minimized with supply/demand and proper control of gil creation. (As someone said earlier, Yoshi wants the best gear in the game to be U/U)
1) I don't care as much about current RMT. SquareEnix will handle them.

2) I understand that someone is going to wind up paying for all the subscriptions somehow, and that it's all going to SE. My point is, you should only be able to play FFXIV if you are paying for it yourself. I imagine there's a lot of important information that SE needs to keep track of as fair as the amount of people that are actually subscribing. They would eventually lose track of who thinks the content is worth paying for and who is only playing because they can use in-game means to continue playing.

3) Or, the unfairness could not exist at all. In-game currency should only hold value within the game itself.

2) And in fact with this system they still do, even if indiractly. Person that pays with gil supports person that pays with money that supports SE. It's a very simple equati
Ergo, this argument is invalid.

3) No, it's not an argument at all. It's just an unproven and unsubstantiated statement.
1) Okay. SE has already decided this; and I support their 10 year old position. I do not support a change in their tone. Also, available play-time or the amount someone plays doesn't really have much to do with the subject. (Although I guess I kind of see what you're trying to say.)
I'm talking about anything monetary/material that exists outside of the game should not effect anything monetary/material that exists inside the game.

2) See my 2nd point from above in response to Shiven.

3) Anything that I can do outside of playing the game, that benefits me within the game: That is unfair. Also, logic. Everyone should play the game. I shouldn't be able to get benefits in-game just because I'm rich as hell. Arista doesn't deserve gil just because I can throw down a couple hundred on in-game subscription items. Arista didn't do shit. Haha.
