One thing I noticed is that the slot for Platinum in the trading window has over 6 digits, whereas the CP/SP/GP are smaller. That can only mean its planned that someone will have at least 100,000 p at some point.

But I'll say that VG has only slightly too slow money generation for my taste. I'm eternally at a point where I'm just barely out of range to purchase armor/weapons my level, and carpentry-created items don't seem to be selling on brokers.

It seems that if you take into account a healthy adventuring habbit as well as being an armorsmith/weaponsmith/tailor/leatherworker of some sort the money gain is very profitable. Just not if you're only doing one or the other.
