If SE plan content right people with high gil will spread their wealth around. The relic quest is a good example. If I were able to get past hamlet I'd be spending 25mil on a double melded weapon or 25mil worth of materia and materials to produce it myself. It's just too time consuming to SB the materia myself. So if I want a relic I have to spread my wealth. I may also have to do the same with hamlets, spending around 50mil on the mats to obtain top provisioner. The game needs more content to make me spend gil, not less gil in my pocket. If there's less gil in my pocket I'm more likely to do things myself the hard/long way,
