While I don't really disagree with the idea (and relieving server stress may be enough of a boon to disregard minor concerns), I do kinda wonder if this would maybe end up backfiring slightly. Removing a gil source (incredibly minute as it is) for low levels could, potentially, push a few extra players to considering purchasing gil, if they're feeling they're not collecting enough on their own.

Very unlikely, I'll admit. But. Maybe. More importantly, tho, yeah, it's so small to not really even be worth mentioning. And there's such little use for gil, devs could probably stand to cut some other small sources as well without much impact.
