Sell your crates and chests. I'm not saying that you're doing this (crying) but there are a number of people who constantly cry poor and, yet, they drop elite chests and crates constantly. If they'd sell the chests and crates they'd be able to stop crying poor. I can't tell you how annoying it is to see people constantly complaining about being poor when I know they are poor because of their spending/chest opening habits (again, not saying you're doing this, just saying it's something I've observed and just had to roll my eyes).

I love to gamble IRL. But I don't go to the casinos often because I have other things I'd rather spend my money on. Same with this game. I don't open chests and crates often (once in awhile I'll pop a crate open, I NEVER open chests) but I have a workable amount of money--enough that when I have an old friend from PL come and join guild I can give some stuff, a pet or two and a little gold. Unless you're uber rich in game, sell your chests and crates. When the crates are priced low in the auction house, buy them and save them to list the next time STS does a special (like mythic weapons) and you can make some gold.
