As much of a non-factor as this is in being a solution to the problem, if you've ever done tradecraft you'll notice that turning in a HQ item will return you a tremendous amount of gil. I recall getting around 1k gil for turning in HQ 25 ltw leves in beta 3. I would assume that they are keeping their eyes on the gil on the servers. Possibly adding some dailies that reward Allagan pieces later on?
