Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

I'm starting to wonder why they put everything behind a gil currency when they are so worried about RMT's

It goes back to Crafting. Everything in this game is built around Crafting. Take out the currency and things to use it on, and watch the forums ASPLODE as the crafters come out en masse to torch all of us lowly, PvE players.

Not saying everthing go to grand company seals, gil would still have it uses but putting everthing behind just gil currency to me is what creating this mess with RMT's and SE over fear of them preventing them to add cool stuff instead of the lack luster we currently have. I don't mind the prices more so over the implentation of the housing system in general but just questioning the reason placing everything thing with gil instead of using a alternate approach.
