part of me thinks that this is just some elaborate conspiracy SE has and that maybe SE does understand t3h 3c0NoM1c5 more than they let on. With no market in which to spend gil, there is no market for the gil sellers and RMTs. SE brilliance? you decide!
While I completely understand what you are getting at, there are still things that are too expensive to afford in these kind of ideals. I.E. materia tier 4 if you want to materia out your gear, and housing. While some may be thinking "you don't have to get a house" that is true, however I also don't have to upgrade my gear, or do any lvl 50 content, or level up. It isn't fair to make some things dirt cheap (and gil hard to make) but yet not make other things so cheap.

So no, I don't think it is brilliance.
