I just want to chime in with my 2 cents.. not that it means much but I don't care. Anyways, Every mmo I have played has some sort of daily quests that rewards money for doing them. You could essentially "survive" by just doing the dailies everyday. This game lacks that completely and if FFXIV wants to win over the crowd of people coming from all of these other games that do not require you to craft or gather crap and play the AH then it better fix this because people will either leave or resort to buying gil from these spammers.

((((Do you honestly think that all of these gil sellers are spamming in town because they just feel like it? Absolutely not!!! There is a market for it and it is blowing up with customers!!!!)))))
