Your only other option is to farm mobs that drop something worth selling or do battle leves. You will not earn gil as fast as gatherers and crafters, but these methods should pull in enough to keep you afloat. If these aren't good enough, then tough cookies.
There is no evidence that the gil sinks outweigh the gil fountains and that this will lead to an economic collapse. The economy is doing fine, learn to earn gil like the rest of us.
