Gil Issues @ 50

[SatrinaKali]

If we assume that the gil sellers spamming constantly actually have the bank to support purchases...where are they getting all of their money from? I highly doubt it's ALL from stolen accounts/people selling to them this early in the games lifecycle, so they must be doing SOMETHING to farm up gil correct?

The argument about the right or wrong way to play the game should stop. Players can play the game however they want. However, if they run into a game mechanic that is stopping them from continuing their gameplay how they want, it may be because the gameplay mechanic was designed that way on purpose, not because some designer wasn't thinking clearly.

The game is what it is. If you want to focus in on only one part of the game and play it without regards to the rest of the game, that's your choice. But it's harder to justify complaining when you straight-up deny the rest of the game.

It's arguably unfortunate, but DoW/DoM classes are hard pressed to add anything to the market from dungeons at the current time, since they can't sell most of their dungeon loot. That said, they can sell drops from overworld mobs, like... wet bombard ash, for the moment. Not sure what else is in demand, but it's likely that part of the reason DoW/DoM classes can't make any money at the moment is because more crafters need to actually reach high enough levels across the board for there to be sufficient demand for the high level mob drops.

This is assuming that high level crafting classes actually require high level drops, of course.

Wearing only level 1 gear, killing mobs all day and night with bots, and vendor trashing.

That seems to be what they're doing at the moment.

Well, assuming that you even get gil if you buy from them, and don't just lose your account to hacking instead.
