We need more ways to make gold in this game.

Are you familiar with EvE? Very complex, robust, and player-driven economy. Many similarities. At the core it's a working relationship between gatherers/crafters and war-fighters. Both lean on each other. That's what I hope SE is trying to achieve here.

EvE has worked a careful balance that makes the economy one that can sustain over time. CCP is constantly tweaking it and has an economist working on the game. EvE unlike FFXIV has a number of ways to inject money into the economy including RMT (PLEX) which makes this comparison a bit one-sided. The point remains that simply there aren't enough ways for players to make sustainable money in FFXIV. And the Gil sellers not only know this but will become a regular occurrence unless the problem is fixed soon.
