Even accounting for weary hands or break time in all other things, Atomos still makes more money. You cannot point to a single thing that makes 1M in liquid gil guaranteed every hour.

I'm at a loss of how I can make this any more persuasive. People really underestimate just how much of a gil fountain Atomos was, and that's unfortunate for everyone but, well, the people who played in the fountain.
Ironic how SE overlooks the addition of an exploit that generates massive amounts of npc gil on the eve of ARR gil redenomination... Sounds like they shot themselves in the foot right proper with that oversight.
