4. I think SE has the impression that everyone is walking around with 100 million gil or something. I know that I don't play that much and crafting was always boring to me so I don't have a lot of gil; and having to spend all the money I make on leve's just to repair my stuff sucks. To make matters worse you get less money on leves than before; so in reality this only helps the people with TON's of money since now that there is less money going into the economy than before the value of existing money is greatly increased.

Online economies are always broke and lame and very easy to corner markets.
