Seems more like real work to me that the enjoyment from other aspects of this game. I don't have enough gil to afford even a small house.
Neither do I. when I first joined the game, I made millions of gil leveling crafts and gathering jobs. my FC leader decided we all needed to chip in and start saving for the FC house. He kept saying he couldn't put any in because he was "too poor," so I bought gear forhim, put in extra so he'd be covered, etc. He wound up stealing the FC bank and starting a new one.

Then, I joined a new FC and mentioned needing to buy my new level 50 accessories from 2.3 to get the 2 and 3 star crafts. Another crafter said, "I'll make those for you! Just buy all of the ingredients and send them to me!" I did. 2 weeks later, he still hadn't crafted any of my gear. It turns out he'd sold it all on the AH and pocketed the money.

Now, I'm sitting on 197,826 gil and I can't make anything because the market on my server is garbage. Every time I find a halfway decent way to make money, 100 other crafters jump on the bandwagon and drive the prices to almost nothing. It's not that I haven't worked hard. It's that I trusted the wrong people.
