I also disagree with the adventurers=slaves thing. While we're certainly looked down upon by NPCs it is mostly due to it being suggested that most adventurers are "foreign" to the cities in some way. Grew up outside them, in other words. Outsiders who will do annoying errands for gil and outsiders who want/need to prove themselves.Â
I guess the overall point is this is a survey for a census, so everyone describing their character's wealth status would make that ridiculously hard. XD Separating it into classes that we're familiar with makes it a lot easier to gather data on where RPers are placing their characters monetarily. He could have also just said "Wealthy, Comfortable, Struggling, Dirt-Poor" or something.
