By being selective about my special events, I find I need to farm very rarely.

That said, I farmed a lot when plowing through the Legend career series (but not more than once a day!).

Between daily rewards (if Elite), daily ads, and various events that FM adds that you can run for positive GC return, you get ~400GC a month. That by itself allows selective participation.
