I'm making gil from it too. But I don't feel needed.

Huh? If you can make gil it means the economy needs you to function. The difference between you and crafters is that a crafter's personal service is required to attach materia to gear. What you do in that cycle is to provide the crafter the mats to perform the assimilation.

I don't think it is reasonable to assume that DoW and DoM should be required to see gatherer directly to be able to see crafter directly to be able to attach materia. Even now I would say that the DoW/M or crafter shouldn't have to be always there when you want a materia attached. Your services are needed because without them DoW and DoM can't attach materia to their equipment. But why must this involve DoH or DoL directly is what I don't understand? Do you not feel like you are contributing unless there is a direct trade between you and the customer? The marketplace is your means to provide for the economy and thus community. The communication does not have to be direct for you to be valuable.

It seems that what you want is something for you to be able to contribute to your LS directly. Now you are doing it indirectly. I can see where you are coming from, but do not think that because such activities don't exist that you would be useless. What I also hope for is that SE works on content that lets gatherers help their Linkshell directly, but it's not like you are neglected just because such activity currently doesnt' exist. You are still providing for your Linkshell nonetheless.
