Its much easier to make gil on low population servers, the high prices of items due to low competition is one of the reasons. Even on low pop servers, there are still lots of people with lots gils and there is still a ton of gil in those server so the high prices don't really bother them much (as long as its still affordable). What does bother them is the price relative to other sellers or the "price history" but I won't get too deep in that.

This is why housing "cost a lot" since it represents the gil that the server and the players have. In fact, its actually underrepresenting since SE lowered the prices due to the bitching and whining of players. This is also why there are quite a lot of people who make tons and tons of gils on low pop servers and then transfer to high pop servers, which would had ruined those high pop servers had gil mean anything in this game. Gil is worth very little in this game though.
