i doubt that "money farmers" even waste their time with new rare drops
This is it right here. It's not worth sending your subs out for the new items that are not a guaranteed drop then having to play the market board and compete against all the bots who constantly undercut when you can make a ton more by just farming the standard items you can cash in at any npc. It may take you a couple weeks to get that 3m gil drop but you can easily make that in half the time farming the salvaged gear.

Not to mention, I have had my subs running for the gil items for years now and am basically just sitting on a pile of gil like some old dragon because there is just nothing to spend that gil on. I just don't understand why ppl get so mad about this when there is nothing to spend gil on outside of housing, which if you have the subs you already have a house in the first place. Plus there are other changes SE could make that would make making gil much easier, like hiding the amount items are listed for on the ah and instead just list what previous items sold for, which nearly eliminates the massive undercutting problem making it easier for everyone to earn gil, from new players to vets.

Need to pick the right battles if you are spiking your blood pressure over an in game currency.
