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.
So? Yellow scrip gear perfectly adequate for a "casual" crafter as mistyregions put it. There's no need at all for BiS crafter gear if you barely even do anything. And honestly, the MSQ gives you 300k gil just to ARR. I'd like to know what a sub 50 player needs to be buying thats more than that, and if you bring up glamour, that is completely not a necessity and absolutely not acceptable to buy gil for(not that anything is). You are making up hardships that don't actually exist.
