WOOTGA!!
This is a brilliant move!
In my opinion this move will do a great deal to curb gil buying in general. A person that would cheat and buy gil does so out of being lazy. In order to recieve the bought gil, the buyer would have to sit in mog and recieve 1 mil, wait for the rotten ******* (gilseller) to send another mil, clear that and repeat the process. Only one of the 8 slots can hold gil. While this isn't a terrible process, 1. It will just plain be annoying and time consuming. 2. And this is the kicker, it will be much more tracable and noticable to a GM which could be set up to monitor such transactions. While SE hasn't released that they will be doing this, it seems to me to be the next logical step.
Perhaps I may be giving SE a little too much credit, but the past few months have made it very clear that something big has to be done. While I personally made quite a nice chunk of gil, I honestly felt guilty about it a number of times. I lowered the price considerably on some of the items I make and sell regularly, but having to pay so much more on everything I bought made that very difficult. The overall effect of all this tended to lower my total enjoyment of crafting, so I am certain that I made less advancement in that area as I would have had the market been pure. This is just my personal view of the situation, I am very sure that some people just loved the market being flooded with excess gil giving them the ability to make a killing. I honestly would like to hear other crafters thoughts on this. If only Jangula could speak english. It seems that he made more on elemental staves in the christmas rush than anyone. This is not to badmouth him, he simply took advantage of a situation he did not create, and seems to be a legitimate player, and has always been friendly in the few times I had dealings with him.
Sorry to ramble, but it is maintainance after all. :)
