Then why does every third raider I meet ask me what to grind to sustain the price of their raid supplies? Clearly they're not making much gil doing what they like.



You're the one twisting things and trying to put words in my mouth. How could you miss that the opening picture is the start of the virtual walk? (Where on Hydaelyn would it start other than the main market hub?)
Those supplies don't have to be sold through the marketboard. You're confusing the marketboard with crafting.

I used to sell to raiders direct instead of through the marketboard. I could sell to them cheap that way (didn't want my cheap stuff being bought and relisted by another player for profit) and neither of us had to worry about marketboard tax.

Raiders make a considerable amount of gil though they'll never tell you that. Like most people, they're looking to pay less for what they want and so they're not about to talk about how much gil they have.

You're the one who said
You should be able to easily make gil doing what you like
There's a crazy number of people who like AFKing at the Limsa Aetheryte. I'm surprised you've never noticed them since you're complaining about people blocking your way to the MB (even though you can easily pop into a housing ward and get to a marketboard in those empty zones much easier).

Your initial post seemed to be the based around the idea that the only way to make gil is to craft and sell things on the MB. That's just flat out wrong. It's a very good way to make gil but it is not the only way.
