Aggressive Gold Sinks

[Altena]

I am extremely pro-gil sinks.
I mean sure, add your overpriced mounts as well but the thing we need more than lump-sum sinks is constant expenditures.
Currently off the top of my head I can only think of 4 "true" gil sinks.
1. Marketboard tax (probably the biggest contributor).
2. Teleport
3. Repairs
4. Housing

Example would be to toss some crafting materials on NPCs as NPC-only items. 1.0 did this well, by putting mats such as Coke, Potash etc only obtainable for 50k from a vendor. This effectively forced that amount of gil out of the economy every time someone crafted something.
Increase repair costs (relaxing/lowering these costs was the wrong move).

Another would be to add a gil cost to melding.

Housing and 1-time purchases are fine to get rid of lump sums but they do nothing to keep the value of gil down..
A 750 mil mount? No worries.. Mr. Cappedgil can probably make that back in a few weeks / months.
