Economy? Not really a valid reason.

I've played FFXI for 5 1/2 years and i still recall when SE released the game to its EU/NA customers and we were thrown in with the JP players that had been playing for close to 2 YEARS and had amassed gil and were geared to the teeth when all the EU/NA players joined. All the EU/NA players never said anything and we got on with it and it all worked out fine.

So this economy reasoning goes out the window.
