Last thing the world needs is to increase a player's financial burden in a videogame.

They spoke about this in the LL.

It's meant to be a gil sink and to combat inflation. More players teleport daily than players who buy gaudy mounts as a one off purchase.

If anything, teleport prices are too cheap considering all the ways teleport costs are either free or reduced:

1. Atheryte tickets
2. Reduced tp costs via GC buff
3. Reduced tp costs via FC buff
4. Free destinations
5. Favoured destinations
6. Return by death BLU mage
7. Free Home Point
8. Shared teleports
9. Teleport to EB partner
10.Teleport for new characters

And this list might not be complete.

There is no inflation. Every market has a glut of supply and removing potential consumers does not alleviate that.

1. Atheryte tickets

They stated they intend to limit the effectiveness of aetheryte tickets.

2. Reduced tp costs via GC buff
3. Reduced tp costs via FC buff

Squadron scrolls only last a short while. Not everyone is in an FC.

30% off 1500 is still 1050 gil per teleport.

4. Free destinations

You have one free destination.

5. Favoured destinations

Again, limited number. Half of 1500 is still 750 gil per teleport.

6. Return by death BLU mage

Not everyone has BLU unlocked. There's a substantial cooldown. Limited to your Home point.

7. Free Home Point

Limited to a single destination. Once every half hour.

8. Shared teleports

Someone is still paying.

9. Teleport to EB partner

Not everyone has an EB partner. Partners are often offline, or not in a useful spot.

10. Teleport for new characters

Not everyone has RAF buddies.

I agree. I thought it sillyy to cap gil costs of teleports to 999 anyway.
