it might just be that the economy is better on your server, because it is a lot cheaper, although slightly time consuming, for the DoLs. i got botanist up to 50 in almost a week, but that has saved me over 100k just for crafting mats, and before i leveled botanist, there was no easy way for me to make money. i could gather shards, but that could only get you so far. the crafting mats arent sold in the kind of numbers you actually need for crafting, most are 33 to 99, and if you only need 15, youre paying a lot of extra gil for mats you might not need.

edit: i include in that the amount ive had to spend upgrading my gathering gear. so X amount of gil - gathering gear every 5 levels= roughly 100k.
Yea, I can definitely see the merit of doing the DoL class too. But I hate gathering so I just bought the materials and went that route. I was still able to find a relatively cheap levequest to use at every stage so this never became a problem for me, personally.
