On a completely different note than what everyone else is posting...
Something I see missing from a lot of "how to make meso" guides is getting married and doing APQ on a regular basis. Now it does cost quite a bit of real-life money ($20-25) but over time, if you APQ regularly, it will make you much more money than $25 worth of gach would (on average... of course if you get lucky and get a 5 atk cape or a white scroll that's different.) I have three characters who APQ on a regular basis and I have literally made hundreds of millions just from selling apples. (Over the span of a year or so, but you get the picture.)
Let's say you APQ twice a day, 5 days a week. Let's also say that you get one apple from the bonus every other PQ. At the end of the week, you have 5 apples. In Broa right now, apples sell at around 3m apiece, and voila you've made youself 15m in a week. As long as you don't marry someone who will divorce you (i.e. marry a friend, a mule, or an IRL significant other) it is a very steady, reliable source of income. The only drawback to APQing regularly is that it might be out of the way (if you train in Ludi or Aqua, for example) and that apple dry spells are quite frustrating if you happen to fall into them.
If I were going to spend 25 real dollars to fund my character in MS, I would absolutely choose to get married instead of choosing to get 25 gach tickets.
