Why is there still so much to do at end game?

[Altena]

You left out One-Star gathering and Two-Star crafting. Those are endgame too.

While in a technical sense, yes you "can" craft these, I consider these to be in the AK/WP category.. You spam WP/AK, don't have anything to spend your Philo on because you have full DL already, so what do you do? Sell animal fat or craft something..

In saying that, it is just as easy to walk down to your local market board and buy one for 50k higher then cost price..
This then goes back into the "farming gil" category which I would hardly call end game.. Especially since the most efficient way to farm gil for most people is - guess what.... AK and WP runs! Horrah.
