You're nothing if not consistent... Back on point; I too made my own gear as I leveled, weapons, and armor, and gathered it all myself. It was a great time. This whole "Time is money" in a game which designed as a way to pass time is flat out silly. Not everyone wants to rush one job to fifty so they can grind the same 2 dungeons over and over and over and over and over and over.... 1k character limit, I should stop there.

Any player is much better off enjoying the game instead of treating it like a second job, unless that's what gets you off.
