There won't be a "gil problem" after repairs are made cheaper...

[Taaz]

All the battle class players I know have 300k+ at 50. What did you spend all of your gil on? And like I said, "when repair costs are cheaper." So what are you trying to say?

You are either lying or don't have many friends. My money all went to Castrum Meridium runs, which net you a 1.5k repair bill every single run, and that's if it goes smoothly. The chests within don't even give bronze pieces to vendor towards the cost of repairs.
Add in Primal fights and other endgame activities, and you are bled dry in a couple days. This is not an isolated I-spent-all-my-money situation, as is clear from the amount of posts on the topic on this very forum. All besides the crafters and those still questing are getting low on money in my sizable FC.
