On JP datracenter RMT is not an issue like outside of JP. Thats one of the main reasons for that difference.
To expand on this, Its a matter of how many people buy Gil.
Buyers inject unnatural amounts of Gil into circulation. So if there were no buyers, there would be no sellers.

But server prices are largely effected by the ratio of people who are self sufficient. On my old Legacy JP server, there were many more people who could craft, farm and gather things for themselves rather then buy it. Thus our prices were lower as there was more competition/less demand.
