I don't know if anyone else has thought of this. Seeing how long this thread is they probably did but I tried a few things to search for it and didn't find anything so here goes.
Why not just make it so that when you complete quests at max level the exp you gained, rather than being wasted, is converted over to gil? It doesn't have to be a even conversion because that would just cause inflation but maybe a 20-25% conversion of the exp into gil would work. Alternatively maybe make the boss' also drop a Alagon piece but instead of it going to a single person like form chests the one from the boss is a bit better quality and gives one or two to everyone? And I don't just mean the end boss but every boss in that instance. Like if a instance has tin the boss' have bronze and so on.
