Why do we think the give/take is out of balance?
There isn't any evidence. Its mainly people that only run endgame QQing because they are not being handed buckets of gil for their efforts. Now I agree that they should at least be compensated for as much as repairs cost - I think that is solved with repair costs being adjusted. This whole 'gil issue' has been fabricated based on nothing but conjecture. People are tricked because the conjecture is based on real economics but there is no evidence to back it up.
