If it were as simple as 1 million instantly per hour than Atomos would be superior to everything.

I know it's hard for many of you to believe but not everyone made their money off of leve spam or anything else similar. Many people made tons of money by just having some common sense, leveling the right crafts/gathering classes and playing the markets wisely instead of blindly spending gil without thought to consequence. The ease of use in this method is what attracted so many to it. For people who do not have a crafting or gathering job leveled this was a godsend.

You are right it takes a long time, but obviously it was waaay too much because they had to change the value to 1 gil.

And people are insane, so yeah you say long time they say EASEEH GILLS!!

Another problem is, people would sell their easy crystals (you never die to atomos if you pay attention to your aggro) for 1 mil, then someone would buy that and turn it into ~600K profit on bots or insanity. Its not so bad if you clear your inventory out first - I made 4 mil doing the dawn drops. 2 mil from selling crystals - and I got all my GC gears / side quest items.

So it became a cycle of easy peezy gil.
