This is just my opinion, i just hope people see things clearly as i state them.

Ok so I'm back for the 3rd time playing FFXI.

My 1st character back in 2001-2004

My 2nd character back in 2006-2008

and Finally my 3rd time around 2011.

Ok so big changes throughout the time span from when i first started playing til now.

My biggest problem coming back to the game is that, they are no crafters. While some might disagree crafters are near extinction and I see it clearly through the AH.

Ok so back in the days AH was full of items because crafters were busy making stuff, but now it seems like nobody makes anything. I cant even buy a bed for my moggle. Last time a bed sold on my server was serveral months ago.

Alright, so I have no bed, fine no problem I'll craft and maybe within a month in real life i'll be able to get my crafting up for a decent level so that I may make a bed.

Here's where my problem kicks in. Back in the days I had no wife, no kids, no bills, no responsiblities so yes I can afford to invest time to craft, level, NM hunting, socalizing, but now it seems that my time is limited and crafting takes way to long to level.

I would Like to see Square Enix try to fix the crafting level up system. I'm not asking for them to make it 100% easier either, but something where it takes less materials to level up or less failed attempts when crafting with more skill ups atleast till level 60 in crafts, and then from 61-100 let it be tough or as it is now.

I enjoy this game and I love it but somethings in this game take to long for people with little time. Please take time to review this post and feel free to leave your comments but no trolling.

Thank you everyone =D
