Average cost of transportation averages 300 gil. If players use paid transport 10,000 per day. That is 3,000,000 gil leaving the economy everyday.

They say if you subsidize something, you get more of if. That is exactly what's happening here. People want to drive in the fast lane, but they realize that they're going to run out of gas so they want SE to give them more gas. Transport costs are optional plus you are given a free return that refreshes every 10 minutes.

You can call BS if you want but you can gather and make all those materials.

Most of that stuff is gatherable. Except for 3-4 ingredients all recipes between 1-29 are gatherable, craftable or farmable and can make you money by selling to vendors.
