economy why not thing be cheaper like jp servers

You know what would solve a lot of this? If the game actually paid out decent amounts of Gil for doing quests/dungeons as well as provided more intermediate crafting materials. Players that can craft and gather efficiently, and by that I mean have all nodes accessible, and all hq melded gear, control how players who don't sink much time into those aspects of the game, or are ignorant to it all together.

NA/EU Players are more dependant on RMT as well, this is a direct result of not being able to obtain whatever monetary level of each individual believes that is good enough. This creates the vicious cycle the economy is in, where a new player attempts to become a crafter/gather class, but is still dependant on established players.
