Ayaz, the problem I have isn't that you want to get rid of gil sellers. It's that you just said "It's the gil buyers. It's the gil buyers. Eliminate the gil
seller." That's like saying "Guns kill people, so let's get rid of gun vendors." How does attacking the gun vendor stop some random person from abusing a gun? It doesn't. You have to attack the problem directly.
There are other ways to lower the price of an item, man. I recently made a post about how to superficially affect supply/demand to lower price. Heck, if everyone simply refused to buy a hauby that costs >100k, I guarantee you that no hauby will ever sell for >100k.
If it's the player's greed that causes them to overlist an item, blame the player.
If second player's laziness that makes them buy gil to avoid farming (so they can get the overpriced item), blame the second player.
But don't blame the gil seller for making the first player overprice an item. Also, don't blame the gil seller for making the second player buy gil. Blame the gil seller for selling gil. Blame the gil buyer for buying gil. Blame the overpricer for overpricing. They may be interconnected, but they are not directly responsible. We are each our own people, and we make our own decisions.
