Ok you are talking about NPC vendoring high level gathering mats...

I sell my stuff on the market and make way more.

Ive barely touched crafting/gathering and have made good money on it.

If you refuse to craft or gather try selling all that worthless junk you just NPC away...you might be surprised what others will pay for it.

Also, consider selling your shards, people pay big for them bulk, and if you don't craft they just sit there on your last page in your inventory and collect dust.

There are PLENTY of ways to make gil. they just don't hand it to you on a platter..well actually they kind of do.
