We don't need anymore gil sinks

[Myrany]

Except that's not true because people who started playing in ARR/Heavensward benefitted from playing early, as they have much more time to amass wealth. And you know what they say, you use money to make money. So it becomes a snowball and they make more and more money with the money they have. People who start later just can't catch up.

Honestly you don't need THAT much gil to do most things in game.You don't NEED a mansion. An apartment is perfectly usable as a personal space in game. You don't NEED expensive glam. If you can manage half decent gear, food and potions, repair costs. You don't need much of anything else.

It is a difference between "I WANT" and "I NEED."

It is actually very easy for a new player to take care of the "I NEED" stuff without going out of their way to do it just in the course of leveling their first class.
