Leave my damn slicing alone, I haven't even got to make any real money from it yet. Seriously, of all the things wrong with the game & you screw with slicing.
Everyone says that this "money from nowhere" is bad. What about your "Materials/Upgrades from nowhere"? Nobody adresses the FACT that you do gain advantages from crafting, where slicing doesn't really help you craft anything if it doesn't make you cash. Maybe it costs money to make/level, sorry you don't get free equipment/stats in life.
Also, an inflated economy is probably better for a new player than you think. Heres a story:
A new player takes gathering skills that go with his craft. He then sells excess mats. He MAKES A LOT OF CASH because of inflation. Training/Game costs seem insignificant afterwards...
I say nerf the complaints.
