Can 3.0 give us ways to make money without being a zombie?

The first half of your response tells me you didnt bother reading everything or you just skimmed over it. Again, I'm not asking for easy ways to make money. I'm asking for ways to make money that isnt dull.

spiritbonding and crafting isn't dull. I have a large amount of fun with it, more so than I ever do as battle classes.

Honestly, you don't need gil for a majority of battle content as it is. Plenty of people get by with just what they get from dungeons and such.

Think of it this way. Adventurers have, in fantasy, been nomads who only travel with what they have, and a small coin purse to get them by. The people with riches, even in fantasy worlds, are people who settle down and do the "dull" tasks, like running shops and crafting armors. Making money is stereotypically a dull task. If its fun, then why are you being paid for it? People pay for other people to do things they DON'T want to do themselves.
