Buy the mob drops off the MB and make extra yarn to sell to recoup the losses.

if I'm not trying to make a profit, just trying to make turnins, why am I going to want to invest even more time and gil?

It should not take 2-3 god damn hours to get the materials for one cloth because retainers are the only effective option.

When I just want to do scrips or leves to level my alts or get tokens or whatever, I don't want to sit there making a bunch of extra yarn to recoup the losses I incur from buying off of the MB beyond sending out my retainers over and over and over. My time is important to me. I have other things I want to do in the game. I really want to know what would be soooo terrible about a minor buff to the drop rate.
