    The sole purpose of teleporting fees (and some other things like gear repairs) is to destroy gil.

    Since many things generate gil out of thin air, this is necessary to keep inflation, etc from getting totally out of control. These are known as gil sinks. (But if you absolutely must have a lore explanation... How about, it's taxes to maintain aetherytes and various organizations?)

    This!! I would much rather use gil or aetheryte tickets, than to have 1.0's anima system any day.
