    So besides AzuraSin who Claims there is a way to make more Money but it seems she is the only Person that (claims) knows how, there are a few People that don't seem to understand the Problem.

    1. The lower you are the lower are your repair costs. At 50 it goes up to 5k easy. The higher the Item lvl is the higher seems the cost to repair it. Since I'm far away from having the highest possible item lvl equiped that cost propably goes up even more. So any low lvl has much lower cost for repairs.
    2. Your first class makes a lot of Money with the mainstory. After you've done that the biggest income you had is not available anymore.
    3. Crafting doesn't solve this. As soon as no buyer has the Money to afford your crafted stuff anymore you also don't get any Money.

    Recently I went into a dungeon all my gear was broken at the end of it... Did cost me a few k allready being not even 40... I didn't get anything near that amount of gil back in that dungeon.
    It seems I can't make Money much longer with crafting. Most stuff sells for a tenth what the materials costs.
    Gathering also doesn't bring in much Money, my gear Brakes doing this, again needing repairs, prieces on stuff I can gather drop drastically.

    I think one part of the Problem is that everyone is using ports to go arround right now. I don't think that was the devs Intention. It Looks more like there are thought for rare use.

    Still, using the airship isn't much cheaper. Reapir cost for Equipment doesn't Change. It still Looks like I would loose more gil then I could make.
    I'm allready repairing most of my stuff myself. But the items needed to repair also don't cost much less then NPC repairs.

    That's again missing the Point. Where do the crafter get the Money to buy your farmed stuff? Without them buying it you cant repair your eqip and can't farm anything...
    Everytime your selling something the buyer looses Money to the market, it gets removed from the game, everytime the crafter sells the product he is making, gil gets removed from the game, it also damages his Equipment, he Needs to make repairs and losses Money..

    just an example - I vendored probably 100 bas-relief cobalt saws leveling BSM, 10k gil total.

    whether things like this are a sufficient supplement to leves/fates, or whether leves/fates are a sufficient standalone on their own, stands to be seen.
    Same, missing the Point that way Money only gets moved from one Player to another, a part of it gets lost due to the fees, where does that Money come from the Player spents for your product?

    Bottom line: I shouldn't be forced into doing crafts/gathering.
    Bottom line also is missing the Point of this Topic. You don't put any Money into the economy, you remove it that way.

    At some Point noone will be able to buy your stuff.
    I'm on a legecy Server and some stuff allready sells at NPC selling lvl on the market, some even below.. which doesn't make sense but I guess People don't check for the npc prieces...
