The whole point behind why I pointed out the difference in time is just how slow this method is when used numerous times. In a perfect scenario sure, 2s & 2s *might* be best case, but I know in my experience those times were greatly increased.

So 4 seconds compared to 8 seconds makes a really big difference, that 2m/hr is pretty skewed and it's more like 1m/hour if that's all you did. Also, people purchased crystals as well if they didn't have time to do the atomos farming. I bought mine for 14k/each so that perfect "1m/hr" turned into 300k/hr.

Conclusion: I just wanted to point out that while it was good money, it wasn't incredible money for the average person who didn't farm 100% of their crystals and turn in their crystals at a blinding speed. Also, I had no clue about the dawn drops until I read about it on the forums... So yet another reason why this became an over-abused system.
It's slow but so is a lot of other things like grinding crafts. Doesnt stop people from doing it. Specially when its the easiest gil ever.

Also the people doing it are probably doing it right - clearing your inventory for less trips, perhaps using family (I know of three cases that did this), and I can only assume the RMT's I've watched were using bots.

Expecting MMO players to have a life is yeah.. :P . The gil from this system is bad because it is fresh printed gil - it wasnt a trade of hands like a lot of sells are (which have taxes for gil sinks).
