So I just had a friend help me move money from my alt, hadn't done it in a while and it had creeped up to 1.4m ish, come to find out a trade only allows 1m max.

Quite a few items right now are running more than that, so if I wanted, or had the opportunity asked of me, to sell an item directly to them, SE is asking 1 of the 2 parties to have quite a measure of trust right now.

So first trade 1m <-> item worth more, then a 2nd trade giving the rest of the gil? or all gil in several trades then the item given? Plenty of potential for ripoffs there.

I can see there being some kind of limit, SE wants to at least put some effort into fighting gilsellers, but in today's economy, 1 million gil is not where that limit should be.
