If SE brings in a large amount of gil or ways to quickly amass gil then gil becomes worthless. You see things on the AH for millions of gil, which happened pretty quick in XI from what I remember. You can't compare a game economy to real life economy. Please don't talk about how economies work when you obviously have no clue.
You see, in real life, you give your money away, that money doesn't just disappear, it goes to another ppl hand so they can spend it, for example, they buy products from your company, then that money goes to your boss, then your boss pay YOU, it goes around in a circle!

It's a little different in MMOs, depend on which subscription model game has, but it based on the same rules too, if there are money sinks, there must be money fountains, you would understand if you play enough MMO & actually care about how they work. This is an example of how money goes around in GW2: http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...GW2Economy.jpg, feel free to educate yourself
