Lol, foolish child. Simple words for you incoming. I have at least 4x the gil you have on my *toon*, not to mention what is on retainer, and ALTs. - There is a little epeen for you, only because I feel you may need to see the big picture...that you're a zero, a bagel, a donut....lol.

Moving on, crafting seems fine to me, make HQs if not you get the shaft. Just like XI was..seemed to work for me then as well.
