There's effectively no gil going out of the economy. We're experiencing horrible inflation already because nothing costs gil. Put in a little work, and you can turn in leves for up to 50,000 new gil into the economy every day, pulled out of thin air. This is why everyone and his mother is sitting on piles of gil right now. Just leveling crafters on leves will pull down 10k per day at a bare minimum.

Putting more gil into the economy is a bad thing. There aren't any sinks, so the gil just builds up and inflation goes nuts (and it already has). Creating more means of increasing the amount of gil will just accelerate the problem. At this point, houses will have to cost 10,000,000 gil to even begin to get a handle on the problem.
