Gearbinding - can we get rid of it?

[Gilthas]

Yoshi has come out and stated it's hard to make gil generally, which is why they want to try to stimulate it in every update. I've made plenty of gil with weaving and cooking, however, unless you're on a legacy world, you really wouldn't have seen how bad the economies can get. Newer worlds didn't get hard with, let's just say 'smart people'.

You're right, it is hard to make gil in general, but again, that's not the same thing as not being able to make a lot of gil. If the legacy worlds have bad economies while the new worlds have better economies, then the conclusion is actually that the problem comes from letting the 1.0 players keep all their items, gil, levels, etc.
