Charging for runs.

If someone you don't know approached you and asked you to gather 20 stacks of granite, would you ask them how much are they willing to pay, or would you silently go and spend 3 hours gathering granite because the thought of paying for a service seems immoral?

Do you consider it immoral if a player spends 1 hour doing melds for another player and gets a tip for the time spent?

Do you consider it immoral when an NPC asks you to help kill some aldgoats and pays you with a necklace?

To answer your statements about the WoL, side quests are canon, you do work for pay just like any other adventurer.

I also hope you have never ever sold anything in the marketboard and charging even one single gil above the cost of mats, because according to you that would be immoral.

That is totally different cause they are approaching you, not the other way around. Cause most people will either ask their friends or FC members for help before asking some random stranger, that not adversting their service to begin with.

I don't see how it's different, but for the sake of this discussion let's say it's the other way around, a gatherer in PF seeking orders, is that immoral and exploitative?
