Gil, for one thing? Supplying your raid? Gearing your alts? Honestly that sentence just screams of trolling, I am not sure if you were serious in asking it.

Some of those rewards don't really exist in HW at the moment, because they've decided crafted gear needs to be a lot weaker in order to make it easier to balance their raids.

If you need to make loads of gil for all your effort, you're going to have to put in a decent amount of extra effort. Those multi-million gil profit synths only stay that way for a few days, then stuff gets old and other people can make it.
Having started with a lot of gil from ARR, making more gil from 60s without specialists or 2-stars is pretty simple. There's no carrot for reaching the absolute top atm, which is what I was arguing.
