    If you re-read the post, you'll see that the money being made is not from the drops but from the actual gil reward from the map. Money from selling the drops is a bonus on top of the amounts listed in the OP, which I will admit are a bit lacklustre in profit right now. I.e. each peisteskin map usually drops 1692 gil per person in the kill party. 8 maps x 8 players x 1,692 gil = minimum 108,288 gil per day from the gil rewards alone. Maps occasionaly drop ~5200 gil (I forget the exact number) per person, which adds an extra 28,000 gil per map that does this.

    My FC uses this method to earn money fairly quickly and has made about 2.5 million just from the gil drops since maps started being a thing. That said, getting at least 8 people who are willing to do this on a regular basis has its challenges. When we first started out it was fun to do, but it can become a bit of a chore so the interest has waned a bit. We don't do it every day, since there's other stuff to do, so we usually have about 16 maps each time we get around to doing a map run and that can be mentally exhausting to complete them all in one go.
