In the upper right of your screen, click on menu. Then go down to Options.
In the General tab, under the heading Miscellaneous (toward the bottom), there is the option to turn off xp.
you can turn off your xp in the options menu. and if your having a hard time gettin monies, then start looking into selling at the market. and no, it is perfectly ok to turn off xp at any time in your toons career.
Is this legit? Should I do this from an ethical standpoint? I also thought that this might be a way to get through the content without using Ouroboros? Does anyone do this, or does everyone make their money from selling and Wentworths's?

You can turn off xp if you feel like it; that's what it's there for.
However, do note that turning off xp will not double Inf rewards as if you were exemplar/malefactored. For that you actually need to be exemplar/malefactored. You can achieve this solo via Ouroboros.
if it wasn't legit, the dev's would not have added it.
Umm... there's nothing WRONG with turning off XP. I just feel that you can get inf anywhere in this game, and XP is a little less forgiving.
As you mentioned Wentworth's... it's SO easy to make money there. Here are three things for different budgets and different amounts of time/patience.
* You can buy snipe/slow/confuse/whatever recipes for cheap, like 1-500 inf, and sell them to a vendor for 1000-10K each. It's a lot of boring work for not a lot of money, but you can make around a million per hour. If you just need 100K or so, it's an OK way to get it. No risk, little reward.
* People "dump" crafted generic IO's on the market at random times. If you leave a few bids up for 55K on different useful level 30-40 IOs, it might fill and you can then resell it for 100K or 200K. Requires that you log off with bids in.
* If you buy a recipe and craft it and sell it, you can make millions. This even works on things where the recipe is easily available, and so is all the salvage. This proves to me that people pay for the convenience. Requires a small amount of research -especially, make sure that the crafted IO sells frequently. Works best with max-level-in-set IO's, like level 50 Crushing Impact or level 35 Entropic Chaos. Those may not work-find your own niches.

I do now.
Before the market I would be fortunate to get all my enhancement slots with SOs by the time I'm level 35 because of the difficulty in earning enough influence, and this was before they made it quicker to get to level 35 (quicker means less defeated critters which means less influence received). Now I usually fully SOed at level 22 and able to craft common level 30 IOs (about the as as SOs one level higher than you) for all my slots by level 27 as well as having common level 15 IOs back when I'm level 12.
Toggling of XP is relatively new and I've done this with one character so far so I don't outlevel the 25-30 content in Striga and Croatoa.

Where do I go and turn off XP for missions? I find I always have difficulties getting influence, and have been toying with the idea of running missions for influence only.
Is this offside? Can this be done? Should this be done? Would it be a waste of time to do this?

The other questions are - what level are you, and why are you "financially challenged?"
Were you buying TOs and DOs early on? They - especially TOs - tend to be... well, not worth the INF.
Are you selling the DOs and SOs that drop, that you can't use, at the appropriate stores? They will sell for more at the stores that share an origin with them (IE, a Tech SO sold to a Tech store will get more INF than a Tech SO sold at, say, a Mutation store.)
Are you continually buying TOs, DOs, or even SOs? Look into common IOs, which don't expire, and for a somewhat higher initial outlay, save money in the long run.
Edit:
Heck, I gave someone else a bit of a tip on making some INF early on, similar to the "Buy recipes cheap and sell them for more at the vendor" mentioned above, where using the market I could find SOs for around 1500 INF or so - often less - and sell them for several thousand INF. Pay attention to what they, and recipes, sell for, buy and sell as you come across them.
you can also setup a Macro/bind to toggle XP on/off.
/macro XP "optiontoggle noxp"
/bind key "optiontoggle noxp"
I keep them handy for timing my levels

Part of it is for influence, but part is also so that I don't level out my contacts to soon if I happen to join a team.
