Fact is even as a new player you get thrown gil (allagan pieces you can sell to npc), gil rewards. Then as you unluck dungeons and do your guildhest, leveling roulette you get gil for just running them.

Gil will not be a issue for you unless you waste it on useless stuff, that's on you I suppose.
This is a video game. By the very definition, literally everything in it is useless. Nothing you do in the game, no accomplishments, no shiny items mean anything in the real world and considering it as such is the height of insanity.

I pay to play this game for entertainment. Everyone's #1 solution of "play more to earn the necessary gil" sounds like a job, and I'm not here to pay to play a job.

So yes, there is a need for this attitude. Blizzard wasted my time by slowly but surely turning the entertainment I was paying for into a job, and this change stinks exactly of that. Maybe I'm being gunshy, but being simply brushed off by long-term players just makes me think of all of addicts in WoW who responded the exact same way whenever folks questioned anything about the game.

If anything, I was just trepidatious before, but the attitude I'm seeing in this forum causes me a lot more concern, which is subsequently making me wonder what's really worth my long term investment.
