crafting is about fun, not just money, u guys all over says synergy rulz, crafters are no more than monopilizing people, greedy ones, they want to make tons of gils in little time, just stop acusing us of it, and think a second about our economy:
Since abyss came, all players has lots of cruor on his/her inventory that is worth gil, (just buy a hand piece por like 3k cruor, go jeuno and sell it for 6.5k gil aprox), so every player lvl30+ should have enough money to spend, the problem with oldschool crafters is not just money, the problem is we are lefting behind just to favor 1 crafting style, sorry but not all players likes synergy, u guys should understand that, even with old crafts many players disliked and liked a particular craft, it was a life for some players, it was a hobby to others, but it makes no sense to craft something useless, many clothcrafters has nothing worth to make as no one is using low lvl clothes and the high level ones are just useless in comparison with new equipment, now, SE comes with augments to sets, and what it does, give it all to synergy, why not distribute among all crafts, for example the Zenith set should be able to augment with clothcraft, or kaiser set with smithing or goldsmithing, i mean, its ok to have synergy if some or many people actually like it, but this a MMORPG and is meant to be funny and enjoyable for all, and thus SE should revise some old recipes for the other crafts or create new ones that can if not exceed at least compete with the synergy ones or the abyss ones...
