Aggressive Gold Sinks

[Genz]

It's not needed. The game is purposely designed that way. Gils exist in FFXIV just to give the impression of a player-driven economy, but important things are separated in a special bubble, with special devise like tomestones or scrips. Thus inflation is not a concern.
It's a trend amongst mmorpg to make the job easier for the devs. Kind of similar thing with classes and equipments : dumb it down to make it easier to balance.
