That's a good list and I'm not arguing that those are the obvious ways to make gil. I'm merely asserting there are other ways (or modifications to those ways) that may take more effort and time but do provide gil. It could be as simple as finding some items are easily gather-able (or farm-able) and craft-able into something worth vendoring to an NPC. All I've tried to say here is that there have to be things people aren't thinking of/trying. Giving up and saying the game doesn't hand you enough money to cover your repair costs is not a solution.

My original comment on this thread was that the system is working as intended, and I still believe that to be the case. Gil is rare compared to what it was in v1, and for people who never played v1 gil is just plain rare. That means stop teleporting so much, that means stop paying out the ear for items at the AH and make it yourself, etc. (in short, stop spending unnecessarily) and find a way to make gil that doesn't make you want to stab your face off (e.g. NPCing gathered items for 1g each).

The defensiveness in this thread is astounding.
