Personally, whenever there is more gil than I need I either waste it on getting few more points through better melding or I give away stuff to other players. You can never run out of people who could use something ^^"

Ah, the trick I use is that I've given myself a gil floor of 20mil. That gives me a bunch of cash to work with if anything weird comes up and it lets me make minions and stuff for my friends without much worry.

Making gil being "beyond easy" is subjective. If the player makes 500k a day etc, and they can make 50M in few hours by resale it's a big difference

This just kind of comes back to the question of "why would anyone need to make 50m in a few hours?" I guess. Maybe Balmung just has an awesome economy or something but I'm struggling to think of a single thing that's over 12mil and that's, like, the hunting hawk because people don't play the diadem much. I can, off the top of my head, think of a handful of things that you could do at level 60 to make well over 100k a day without ever even touching a crafting class.

btw. In my opinion, I know it sounds crazy, if you (general you) don't have a house it's better for you that someone who wants to resell it buys it. Why? Because if the person buys it to sell you can buy it from them with enough gil/friendship/eRP or whatever they want from you. The house is still available - it just costs slightly more.

I mean, if by "slightly" you mean four times the original cost? Also the scenario where someone happens to befriend a house hunter and they like you so much that they sacrifice 20 million gil that they bought that small plot specifically to make because you're such a good guy seems shaky at best.
