I'm sorry, I just think this is completely absurd. Your "faucet" will never be turned on. The amount of gil you get from the main quest and leves are the faucets, and they vastly exceed what an armor could do. The only way your scenario comes into play is if SE removes all of the gil from the game, remove stored leves from the game, and everyone raids so much it consumes all of their profit. I forsee 0/3 of those things happening.

I have made very little attempt to earn gil, and I have found very little need for gil other than repairs, and transportation and I have 140,000 gil. No, I'm not rich... but there's been nothing I need that I can't buy. From a single player / leveling perspective, I'd say gil is too easy to come by. Yes, there's some rediculous undercutting going on, but it seems like you want huge inflation? Most items can be sold on the AH for more than vendors pay. Some items can be bought for less than vendors charge.
