Nowadays, there isn't much reason for anyone in the game to WANT for a massive quantity of gil other than to buy a house. And that's the biggest money sink I ever saw in a game. You can bet your behind that almost everybody who'll buy tokens will want to use their newfound gil to buy a house. A pretty large gil sink.

And you know something funny about housing? Once you buy a house, you are done with it. There's little reason (and I don't even think it's possible, correct me if I'm wrong) to buy multiple plot wards. Now if you trade that gil you have with a person who doesn't yet own one, that person will want to sink that gil into a house. Gill that wouldn't be sinked otherwise.

Yes, it is really THAT simple.
