Blegh. When it comes to status symbols in game I'd rather see hats or armour for chocobos we raise, rather than a cornucopia of random toys to transport yourself in.

The game needs more than one gil sink, and with the addition of paid transportation (In the form of rentals and airship rides) hopefully the prices of darkmatter will fall.

Anyway on that note I do hope that airships and chocobos have a rank requirement + quest. Fun time sinks are great. Just not....In the style of XI's chocobo pass. :S That was not fun.
