If you remember that patch, and the housing numbers it came with, you'd know how badly that turned out. The prices on the houses were insane, and there was a good reason why the housing prices were decreased by a lot.



I also don't think a big one-time purchase works all that well as a gil sink. A better gil sink is taking something that's used on a daily basis, and adding a small gil price to it.

Take the mini cactpot for example, a lot of players do that on a daily basis. Imagine if they were to replace the cost from 100/200/300 MGP to 500/1,000/2,000 gil.
3,500 gil may seem like a small amount, but if 1000 characters were to do this per day, that'd be 3.5 million gil removed from the game. 105 million over the course of a month.
