This game needs PvP, and Yoshida explains why.

Well, if you are doing nothing but AK, you have more problems than just gil income. Although, even with doing nothing but AK, if you have done it as much as you say - you should have a spare... 4250 tomes?
Breaking it down - 80 x 100 = 8000 tomes of philosophy, roughly 3750 to full Darklight = left over 4250 tomes. Divide that by 125 and you have 34 crafting items that you can sell. Even at 20k each that is 680k.

Of course we both know you are exaggerating, but you see my point. It's almost a requirement to do 8 AK's a week to myth cap, which is now 800 tomes a week, at 20k an item you are still getting roughly 128k a week of income. Hardly something to complain about while getting your AF2.

Full Dark light is a little over 5000 tomes with accessories also I know and have run with people that have ran CM/AK enough times to get over 20k tomes me being one of them....
