If anybody can do that while playing normaly (chaining dungeons, crafting , teleporting etc.. ), than there is no problem with the economy.
That would be me. Ground 5 levels of miner and botanist via levequests, wore out everything below 10%, repaired all to 100%, even went to Los Lominsa to do the class quest. Taking out the quests rewards I still made over 5k and gathering quests pay crap.

The OP wants a hard-core economy. SE wants a casual economy where people do other things than just grind durngeons/raids. I make money doing the crafting logs, I make money off the drops in hunting logs. I repair my own gear most of the time. I do dungeons occasionally, not non-stop and I still make money.
