I don't craft for gil either, but because of this system I cannot craft for the sake of crafting. No, I have to do 3 hours of objectively badly designed gathering for 10 minutes of being able to enjoy crafting actual difficult recipes, and I may or may not even be rewarded due to DC's. Plus, these items have an almost non-existent market on all servers. Their prices are sky high and encourages gil buying because their high price is dependent on the system.
