YOSHI FIX THE DANG GIL ISSUE THAT IS KILLING OUR PLAYERS!!!

Based on my personal experience, the tradecraft leve is the best money generator in the game. Especially the ones that asks you to turn in 3 things and are then repeatable if you turn in HQ stuff. As a lvl 25 GSM, I had a leve that asks for 3 magnifying glasses. The only base material required are silver ores (go mine them yourself), and a lens purchasable from the guild NPC. Go play the crafting mini game and make 9 HQ lens (easy if you are wearing on level gears and have all the lvl 15 skills from all other crafting classes). The levee has a base reward of about 600gil. That's almost 2k if all Hq, and you can do it 3 times with only 1 levee allowance. Minus repair for the miner and crafter gear, and the cost of those lenses, I think you can generate about 4.5k Gil with less than an hour work.

To be clear, I do think there is a problem with the economy. There are ways to inject decent amount of Gil into it if you look hard enough, but there are too few of them, and not everyone enjoys doing those activities. Those who only want to dungeon all day should not be rich, they should never be able to buy anything off the market place by only doing that. But they should not be forced into abject poverty either and forced to do other things. This is a game, let people do what they want

This.
Especially if you can buy the items cheaper in the AH than the leves give you.
There are enough money sources. The problem is that people ignore them most. Or nobody would sell Ether under 30 gil.
