We need more ways to make gold in this game.

This argument has a flaw, it counts only for the beginning of new servers, after 2-3Weeks the problem is gone.

U can get your gear repaired by a high level crafter. U only need Darkmatterl V, which u get from your Legion and can by it with Legion Coins (u get them from Fates, turning in Green Gear or from the Legion Hunting Log)
For each item repaired u pay the craftsman 50Gil - so u end up at 500Gil for a full repair. So no more 4000-6000k repairs at that point.
Optionally u can raise your crafting skills and repair your own gear.

This is what I'm thinking too... the gil problem probably occurs when you play the game while ignoring almost half the other classes. Repair used to be a huge deal in 1.0 too but when people made crafter friends it fixed the problem. So yeah I think it's just a waiting game for people to level up crafting to fill the repair demand.
