The Gratuity limit should be significantly lower, or should be in addition to a clearly-defined advancement process that eliminates the sense of this being a 'goal'.

There are a ton of items on the marketboard that are worthless to players, and thus get sold at (or below!) their "vendor trash" price.
Materia I-IV. Allagan metals. clear demimateria. In addition, some items that are easy to get but aren't marketable. Moonstone from the ixal, for example.

Not only do I easily make the 20k each week, I actually get more money than I spent. I also find it laughable to call "20k a week" "wealthy enough to throw money at it". I levelled an alt a few months ago and ended with 3.5 mil in the account. It just takes knowing the game's economy a little.

Its 20k... I'm always broke and I have no trouble doing it each week. I got so much garbage in my inventory and this has been a great way to clear it out and get something neat in return... Just try out different items, some really make a dent others are just a few gil. Do some Leve's that give you gear as a drop then pump that in. Or if this system is just too hard for you, avoid it. So far I see no benefit to doing this anyway.

You guys are making this way too complicated.

1. Buy "pill bugs" which cost 2 gil each from npc vendors.
2. Sell them for 1 gil each.

You spend 40k gil and then boom capped for the week.

Super easy you will get what you need by regular play, For instance if you use Eureka for Mendacity cap each week, take your lockboxes and have them appraised, 10 tier 5 materia is really more than you need to max out each week. Doing anything else? well I don't do those things for it so up to you, really though tier 5 is super cheap right now and doesn't take much.

A lighter grind combined with a pseudo-Sims game (choose the theme of rebuilt structures, choose what type of restaurants and such are populated, etc.) would have been far superior than what we currently have (so far as I can tell).

Are you serious? Just sell any roulette gear you win and materia 4s. The Enclave is not anywhere near a grind.

perhaps for people that are solely concerned with maximizing persona profit over all else 'donations' is not an activity they should consider

34 allagan silver pieces from 18 hour ventures would normally NPC for 17k gil, I got 20k for them from donations. Just get some at the MB and you can probably at least break even.
