SE could simply be trying to burn some of that Chocobo Blinker gil out of the economy.
So it maybe a lil while before we see scrolls as drops. Who knows

I read on the wiki that it is possible the shops are dependent on the different coalitions for trade and their prices may be affected by the attributed coalition rank. As such, it may be possible for the price to drop as Coalition ranks rise.
Samurai Archery is said to be a thing of the past, but it isn't dead yet!
...?
Really? You realize we're at a point where you can solo dynamis, farm currency, and AFK for days to come back to millions of gil, right? Between that, selling KI's for Abyssea (anyone building an empy weapon mercs more than they farm, there just aren't enough hours in the day for farming that shit yourself.), merc'ing brews, and actual players who run FC parties -- plenty of people are rolling in so much gil that the blinker scenario was an irrelevancy to them. Frankly I wish I had known about it.. >_> Could have used that gil to merc my thaumas...
Somewhere in space... this could be happening right now.
The only difference is that Dynamis Currency, Selling Popitems and so on only circulates Gil. Chocobo Blinkers created Gil.

your comparison is flawed in the way that: WHM and BLM scrolls can be all obtained by farming specific mobs, or questing them.
where as GEO: has to buy the scroll to even get the Geo___-spell from a Geomantic Reservoir.
I have hunted the new Beastmans for 2 hours +, they dont drop any GEO-spell-scrolls whatsoever
the comparision to COR rolls is justified but the price difference is HUGELY different, i remember the most expensiv roll being like 200k, whereas the last 8 or 10 GEO scrolls are 400k+ upwards?
So yeah SE either needs to make those expensiv spells drop off from mobs, or cut the price down by around 50% or more
In BG someone posted some pics of Skirmish:

I'd prefer something alittle bit more thematic. Much like acquiring GEO, I'd rather go to a ??? and pop and appropriate NM elemental type to kill. Not for all the spells but some of them. The drop would include a geo-scroll
Alternatively, an certain % of "knowledge" can be gain during weather effects and/or enviorments. Killing X amont of mobs or buffin X amount of times during storms can unlocking level appropriate spells and spelltypes.
For example, accuracy (is lightening based). During lightening storms...casting "lightening type" spells increase the % rating.
A final alternate method is the "caring method". Feeding a Lupons either crystals, feedwell orbs(synergy items), or the trial items(can't think of them atm)...gains a certain affinity. Think affinity level. Each elemental affinity level can coincide with the level of the spell. Example. a lvl 5 spells require you feed Lupon to affinity level 5.
As an aside. Affinity level could have an affect on the effect of the lupons spell directly.
just ideas I'll pullling from my butt.
I had imagined stuff like this too. At least they went part of the way with the GEO spells. The acquisition is simpler than what you've suggested, but at least the trips take me to more obscure parts of some zones. And the little skill up opportunity is a cute touch.
I'm glad to see the spells are dropping in Skirmish. imo SE handled this well. People can still obtain the scrolls, or sell them, but without the 5 million price tag that accompanied the BLM 76+ scrolls in their first few months, due to the NPCs providing caps. I wouldn't complain if the NPC prices came down, but overall this seems fine to me.
