As long as a lot of players aren't doing direct trades then the retainer taxes take out a decent chunk. People with more gil are more willing to pay the tax as well. Also if melds are blowing up items then there is a gil sink there since a lot of items require a good amount of vendor items to make.

It's going to be a problem as long as the event is going on though as I'm sure the rate of gil coming in far exceeds the gil sinks, but it should stabilize pretty quick even with the current systems once they cut off the event.
