how else do you plan to remove massive quantities of gil from the economy directly? this combats inflation and keeps prices of goods reasonable as long as people keep investing in the housing system.

furthermore, what incentive would people have to make *tons* of money if they knew they could only really ever just sit on it? this provides a practical function for the money earned by the game's mega-millionaires, and considering some people do play *solely* to make money, they finally have a way to show it off.

are we supposed to deny them this simply because some people don't make as much money, or are worried about RMT? and do you somehow think RMT wouldn't exist if there weren't housing? and if there weren't housing, where does the gil go that the RMT introduce into the economy?

yeah, so
