Now, not to put to fine a point on it, but 1600 gil BARELY covers the transportation costs associated with that HQ leve, much less the repairs after a few of those. So to make the spurious argument that "guild leves [are] pretty rewarding" is fairly disingenuous.

Considering that I can make at least 5 times that amount for crafting the exact same item and selling it on the Market Ward, one has to question your awareness about endgame when you make a claim like
Some leve's allow you to complete it up to 3 times from one allowance. When these are done with HQ items, it can yield ~5k Gil per Leve quest or 30k per day. If that person is also farming the mats and crafting the recipes themselves, then the costs are usually around 1k for travel and 3k for repairs at most. It's a profit of 26k per day.
