Crafting Needs a Place in Endgame Raiding

[Susanoh]

It's like I said I made 30m since the game came out crafting casually not even hard core. The ability to make gil is definitely motivate to level all your crafts up.

The ability to make gil isn't an issue. It's that crafting, gathering, and the markets have very little impact on high level content.

You said yourself that "There would be little motivation to do endgame content if you could just buy the best gear from the market boards." If you can see why this is the case, then you should also be able to see why many find little motivation to craft.
