The only reason I have any "savings" as it were at the moment is for the possibility I can grab a Large/medium house with the wards opening soon. Up until housing came out I would almost instantly burn down any money I had over 1 or 2 Million (a decent amount to buy any new items that hopped up or perhaps a minion that got implemented) into crafting mats or new gear and on and on. Once I had a GOAL: a house, I made sure I built up the money to grab a house if it popped up (which it eventually did) and continued to save to maybe upgrade if the chance presented itself.
There is currently no point.. to YOU.. of saving Gil. I can immediately think of several things I would do with excess wealth ingame. I'm happy you get to "Scrooge Mcduck" it up and swim in your money, but I've got plans for mine.
Again this proves my point, because of the high limited use gil has, the general populace lacks motivation for gil. Those that do care focus on housing. This shows there is no real cost (as in doing other things making housing too high in demand), as more and more gil gets in circulation, there is more and more ways for people to save up for the little supply in housing. The whole econ collective SE set up is not very well thought out.

In other words, the game needs more importance on crafted items, it needs more gil sinks. Right now gil is too worthless.

Thanks for the complement though I am losing all faith =/
