And what exactly would those ways be? The whole game is a giant grind fest. Grind Gil, grind crafting mats, grind for your relic, Spirit Bonding, Chocobo leveling, grind Tomestones. I certainly understand people who don't want to do that kind of stuff and instead just buy a few million Gil. Did you see the Gil prices out there? It's about 3€ per Million. Even if you would make a million per hour (which is unrealistic beyond reason), you'd still be "working" for 3€/h. And don't tell me "This is a game and thus not comparable to work!"

No, grinding is work. It's not fun but repetitive. I don't even mind bots at all. They're not impacting my gameplay in any way.
