I try to keep my IC economics a little believable based on vendor prices and all that.
This is why I've always been iffy on things involving "IC only gil" (barring some small sums for things like a cheap entrance fee, or payment for a drink). I think it makes more sense and is less hassle to either not involve gil, or use real gil. A date auction using only IC gil, for example, could easily involve an endless bidding war of "who has the most imaginary currency?" that will surely end in some IC discord, OOC arguments, and a lot of time wasted.
