Im not saying its hard to farm gil on Nasomi, but in comparison, the gil has more value than it did on most retail servers in the ToAU era.
I'm doing my best to think of it in terms of goods for that very reason though I admit I'm only slightly better than guessing at prices on my retail server at the start of ToAU. But I have in my mind a ranking of the relative value of items that is based on my retail experience and it's weird to me that basically you guys are saying a Haidate (which was the most coveted item in sky by most measures) being sold for less than Alky Bracelets isn't out of whack to you.
The difference is, people farm Alky for only Alky bracelets. Numerous people kill Byakko simply for his seal and have been capped on Haidates for awhile, or simply farm Byakko for the simple fact of selling his drops/seal. Im sure you can only watch so many Haidates fall to the floor before you start to realize what price they'll sell for at the rate that you're getting them. Either you watch them fall to the floor, or you put them at a low enough price that people will show up on a whim to sky and take it off your hands.
I think the main difference is that on retail, when a ls’s members acquired all the gear, they had other content to move on to so they stopped doing sky completely. So, in general, the only ls’s doing sky didn’t have haidates hitting the floor because members needed them. Here, some ls’s still need haidates, but plenty of ls’s (or low man groups) are farming sky because they’re bored awaiting content.
