Used to be that you don't really need gil much unless you are making Relic or Mythic. When Abyssea pretty much give you all of your rare/ex Empyrean plus 2 gears, and all of those rare/ex accessories. All you need is a group of friend to help you get your gears. And everyone get the same chance for the loot. Meeble also give you "points as currency". Would it be great where you don't need gils for your gears and spend your "various points" for your gears. So if you are actively doing the contents, you are rewarded, instead of just using your credit cards to purchase these gears....
