"Because we can and it's free"

In this scenario you can always save the steel plates for Maker. However i'm talking more specifically about things that are released in other versions, where we can *Know* for a fact what will be needed. Masteria expansions are always going to be a dice roll for us.

This. I made 20 mill back when 3rd job came out (back when 20 mill was a lot) by hoarding Dark Crystals and again with 4th job and Eos scrolls.

Im not married, but Im able to make money through MTSing/various other methods, namely area boss hunting and MTSing the scrolls/etc. pieces that they drop.
