Needless to say, throwing a glass of water into the ocean would have more of an impact than your proposal.
Ok, now how much gil does the average apartment dweller have? What about the average player?

If you're in the top 5% (or top 1%) of gil holders.... you're kinda the exception and stuff shouldn't be balanced around you.

And draining gil from the economy isn't about making one huge dent into a pocket book, if done correctly you bleed gil on almost everything and in an amount that makes sense (for example, repair costs should be much more expensive, as should teleport costs).
