This is true. But its a one time infusion. On the flip side, everyone on the server is likely to teleport from one city to the next at least once. Likely far more times than once. Its, what...? 500gil to teleport from one city to the next? thats 2,500,000 gil removed from the economy using your figures. That adds up faster. The problem is, quests (namely those that award allagan coins) are a large source of income. They are a one time infusion though. A given quest can only be undertaken once per character. Teleports arent. Repairs arent.
