I've never seen a problem if a group of players decided to put their skills to use and offer players the chance to be carried through content they might have otherwise struggled with. Whether it's an issue of time, finding a good group, or simply traveling down the path of least resistance, there are always going to be players who put reward before content, so the practice of carrying through such seems like a practical idea to make a bit of money out of those who want instant success. You could argue that it might present other, less savoury situations (the players who want to rush through content buying the gil from RMTers), but I don't feel it's a direct cause of the group itself. Unfortunately we cannot prevent these types of players who want everything now from playing, and I'm often hard pressed to convince them otherwise, not that I like to force my own opinions on how one should play the game.
On the issue on purposefully ruining runs in an attempt to coerce them into buying successful runs instead, well I don't need to go into lengthy detail as to why that's such a pathetic routine. The fact that there's supposedly someone who holds the position of authority on an online forum included in that scheme just makes it all the more laughable.
