Aesthetician for Retainers

But it’s... not my priority to earn gil. My priority is doing quests and leveling up my alt classes. 25K is STILL not a lot.

Do you know why SE tolerates the bot's that most of us hate? Because they keep the prices low. SE got so much criticism for the high prices they started accepting botters, since those of us that craft, gather, and trade will try to get as much as possible for what we have to sell. They made crafting ridiculously easy, but that wasn't enough, so then they started accepting botters (ie, you don't get banned if you have bots, at least not until you get too greedy), then they started letting retainers get craftable items as drops, because not even the botters was enough to get the prices down. At least that's the only logical conclusion I can draw from SE alienating a large percentage of their player base. It's all about prices, so I figure, someone has to be seriously poor out there because, as you say, 25k isn't much to talk about.
