Aggressive Gold Sinks

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.

Yes it is needed. FFXIV is one of the only games that doesn't have more gil/gold sinks on the more expensive level outside of housing and a few select glamour pieces. Anyone who makes the claim that "they aren't needed." Doesn't understand how the economy works. Someone already pointed it out, with more expensive gold sinks it means there is less gil just being sat on by players because they have nothing to spend it on which causes prices to decrease on the mb for newer players, which in turn is a boon for the game. They need to add heavier gil sinks to the game, there isn't a valid reason to not add them.
