Some players enjoy open world mob grinding (I'm not one of them, though).

Add in a gathering profession that collects the same items directly, and you depress the market even further if both are an option.

SE could do it but there is no reason to when every player has already free access to gather the items (assuming they have MSQ access to enter the appropriate zone).

It doesn't hurt to have to buy some of the things you need from other players on occasion. What else is gil for?
