If it were as simple as 1 million instantly per hour than Atomos would be superior to everything.

    I know it's hard for many of you to believe but not everyone made their money off of leve spam or anything else similar. Many people made tons of money by just having some common sense, leveling the right crafts/gathering classes and playing the markets wisely instead of blindly spending gil without thought to consequence. The ease of use in this method is what attracted so many to it. For people who do not have a crafting or gathering job leveled this was a godsend.
    That's a fair point. I say we take a look at that equation.

    12,000 seals = 8000 drops
    2 seconds per transaction of 10 drops
    800 transactions = 1600 seconds or about 26.6 minutes

    8000 drops = 81 inventory spaces
    2 seconds per transaction of 1 stack of drops
    81 transactions = 162 seconds or about 2.7 minutes

    Altogether it takes about half an hour to turn 12,000 GC seals into 8,000 drops into 1,000,000 gil. That's plenty of time to make 1M before the next Atomos pop. The only limiting factor is the rate at which Atomos spawns (about every earth hour).

    Common sense tells me Atomos was hysterically lucrative.

    Edit: I will just say I am skeptical you make an honest 1M every hour through traditional means.
