Gil has actual value now, and the value is dictated by how much money is in circulation. It's not representative of what value SE has set for gil initially in this new economy, so if you want to participate but aren't part of the population with tons of cash.. well, what you can do is try to get a piece of that pie. Like you said, everything seems to cost a fortune, and that can be either disadvantage... or an advantage.
I dunno, I kinda like cheese cake over pie.
