I honestly don't care if it's light farming, tomes crystals, atmas, whatever - as long as it doesn't cost Gil. I remember one of the ARR stages essentially REQUIRING around 1 million Gil to complete; several items costing 100,000 and you had to purchase them from NPCs.

As someone who doesn't craft and whose only gatherer is fishing, money is not a luxury I have a lot of. When Gil or costly crafted items come into play for relic quests I get really depressed.

So bring on all the farming you want, just keep your hands off my pitifully meager pile of cash.
