Except why should we have to spend all our hard earned gil on jacked up prices just because only a handful of people chose to specialize in that class? Not everyone who is an omnicrafter or wants to be an omnicrafter shits gil. I wish I did, but I don't. I already spend ridiculous amounts on mats that I can't get for myself. Plus, the server economies are often VASTLY different, so what's affordable on your server won't always be affordable on any other server. What's cheap on Exodus won't necessarily be what's cheap on Siren. We can't predict what will make the most gil or what we'll be needing the most of in the future, and we can't plan for stuff we can't predict. I'm the only person in my FC that has even a single specialist. So it's great that /your/ personal experience allows you to ask for help or that /your/ server economy is cheap enough for you to buy the mats you need, but /your/ experience is not universal.
