And... did you just say... end game crafting gear? Why in the entire world would a new player need that? You realize there is yellow scrip gear you can earn for 0(zero) gil right? And by the time you are level 70 crafters you should have made enough gil from it to buy them if you are too lazy to make it for yourself. I see we've spotted a gil buyer who wants everything handed to them...
I don't think that's what Mistyregions was saying. The idea that new players don't need anything off the market board is pretty short sighted. Yes the game gives you gear from quests, that you quickly can out level and leave behind. Which makes for buying gear more likely, especially in the ARR content.

I don't know anyone that made money from leveling crafters, if anything they spent gil to level. If you were able to get to 70 on all crafters while amassing a small fortune good on you, but that isn't the case for every person. And as I found out, the end game script gear isn't the best crafting gear because you can't put materia into it.
