To be fair here, it does matter. Omnicrafting aside, it does not change the fact that with 100 scrips he was able to gather enough mats for an ingot and a half. This allows him to sell mats AND craft them at the same time. Anyone can gather that many materials. These nodes do not require gp, melds, HQ gear or anything that has anything to do with gil. All they require is 15 minutes of non-stop streamlined flight paths and quick interaction with nodes. Yes you can get 1 item from a favour, but they give you 5 and you can also get upwards of 5. If you want to gear up, get the gear and stop complaining about the alternate-expensive route.

Just because someone planned out on a spreadsheet it will take you x amount of time to do things with red scrips, does not make it true. You can get a piece of gear weekly, and use 1 token on these materials. Every few weeks you craft a piece as well. By then, some T5 material may be out. Or you can go all in and just start crafting and hope you can HQ without upgrading your gear (this is the only benefit of omnicrafting and having gil atm). What advantage do these people get though? They get better gear...to do recipes they have no materials for and nobody needs...except other rich crafters.
