I know it's probably been said before, and there's lots of mythic fix threads, but at least, increase the alexandrite drops in salvage. Purses are a joke, giving a random 5-20, 99% of the time 5 (9 out of 12 of my last purses have been 5 or 6, sweet thanks, only 29,989 to go.)

This is the bare minimum. Alexandrite drops need to be random from all mobs in the zone, and boss purses need to be 100% (linen) as well as cotton from all NMs in all salvage zones, and at least 10-20 for a random. 5 is just a slap in the face.

While you're at it, you should also have alexandrite drop from gears and chariots in abyssea. That way, you at least have something to farm while slaving away 100 minutes everyday for a good 50 alexandrite.
