Maybe it was discussed before and i apologize if there is another thread like this. Also, i'm not asking the way how to get gil on FFXIV 1.0 . It's a discussion about which way do you preffer to get gil on 2.0.
I'll use FFXI as an example, sorry if you hate the comparision between XI and XIV. Long time ago people used to get more money from craft than farming, but this, more with abyssea and the dynamis reform, started to change, able to farm coins easily of dynams or doing exp party on abyssea to expand Cruor to get gil.
After this being said, what do you preffer? Making money using craft or having to farm?, farm maybe not in the way that kill a thing to get an item, maybe can be the same way as abyssea, for example: get "X point" obtained after complete F.A.T.E (full active time event) to expend it on an item and sell it. Note that this one could be similar that what happened on XIV 1.0 last month with atomos event, people farming crystals to get seals then expend them for an item to sell on NPC.
