Oh the inflation would only happen because people would have a new reason to farm. Not because of switching of hands. That is to say as long as the amount of months sold is exactly the amount of game time being used, unlike the possibility of collecting 6 years of game time within a few months and selling it.

No you are missing the point ( I think ) - the person who used real money got your 10 gil (smaller number, easier to work with ). BUT that person can also earn the 10 gil like you did normally. So in effect they have 20 gil.

Saying we have two people who play the same amount of time and work the same hours, only one is willing to spend his money. He will have more money then the person who isnt willing to. Therefore a p2w system has been accepted.
