I don't think it stops them. They do complain alot about boredom. But It would solve the problem of rarety of red gemstones for guilds like ours who don't kill contested. EDIT: the price I posted is completely hypothetical. 300 would be more realistic.
True but I don't think they consider that a 'problem' more of a bottle neck. Although I do think they plan on making it easier to get soon, or more accessible/more options at least.
