I actually had a look at the auction house system the other night. I saw some antelope horns I needed and didn't particularly feel like farming. Saw 2 up for 1970 gil - great I thought. Go to click buy and see the message that it's going to cost me 2000+ gil due to tax. Like really? So when items start rising to the millions once a stable economy has developed, a 1million gil item is actually gonna run me an extra 50k on top? Ridiculous.

Money certainly isn't hard to come by but it doesn't come by in huge chunks like that.
