To gain enough scrips for the week, many crafts are to be exchanged, thus, a lot of materials are to be gathered OR bought. No gatherer = buy materials from others = high gil costs.
The current system seems like an awful gil sink that not many people want to participate in (among other things, but I don't need to relist them all).
I think that even you don't understand the point that you made.

If you meant something entirely different then you should probably fix this, otherwise its looking like you are saying that those that put in no effort to level the relevant gathering class for their class shouldn't be paying as much as they are. All of the vitriol surrounding red scrips is nothing more than a bunch of people crying for instant gratification.
