Not only that the available gil just keeps growing due to SE sheer lack of controls against rmt and botting. Most new players start the game with a few gillion anyway cause they just buy it right away after they create their char and when they need more they just buy more. (which is ridiculous with the ease of gil acquisition in this game). The MMO black market is booming and SE is far behind the times in alot of aspects of the mmoverse, especially when it comes to black markets. I have never and will never buy gil but I know players in xi who buy at least 10m a month and have been for years with no repercussions, so even calling what we have an economy is laughable. And a casino is just going to draw more black market activities to the game and se will sit on their hands as usual, giving excuses as they think up more time syncs for us.

So se taking measures to control the input and output of gil is a non-issue as it never will be. Even if they plan on trying it there are still going to be ppl with 40m and ppl with 2m. Some ppl spend some ppl save. Some ppl earn gil some ppl buy it. Regardless there will always be rich and poor and a lack of balance between.
I honestly don't think most MMO players buy currency. I have no idea where you got that idea. Some morally bankrupt people buy gil, but it is not that common nor is it cheap by any means if you actually google it the prices are quite high.

RMT has little affect on the XIV economy except at times when they have driven down the prices of certain goods. There is no big problem with inflation from it like there was in XI.

I think you probably DO buy gil and that is why you want to paint this picture which in my experience is not at all accurate.
