Artifact Armor 4 idea

It takes about 10000 "Feed Earth Fewell"s to reach level 80 Synergy. I can understand why people wouldn't want to do it.

If they don't have the patience to get synergy to 80, they won't have the patience to farm any of the static gear. I just find it funny that the same people that refuse random also use synergy as an argument against it. I'm putting money on hundreds/thousands of dynamis currency for a single piece, and after that you'll see a bunch of QQ crying how they don't have money to buy currency, they don't have friend to farm with or dynamis is too hard because they can't solo it.

SE is trying to lead the game out of abyssea and it's going to make a nice chunk of butthurts. If you read camate's post they clearly have in mind to make relic +2 not accessible to the first guy you meat in jeuno that spams NPC for their seals.

I farm Dynamis solo daily. Dynamis is fun because the battle system is still fun and I get to fight and push for efficiency with a time limit.

Synergy was designed to be a re-vamp of the crafting system. Make it more interactive and a little more skill based, as opposed to just combining the right ingredients with the right crystal and waiting for the random number generator to spit out another break on a recipe you passed the cap of 5 years ago. By and large I agree that Synergy is more fun than normal crafting. The problem is that sitting there and spamming a menu 10,000 times before you can make anything worthwhile is boring. My first attempt at skilling Synergy on my mule only got me to level 2 before I gave up out of boredom, yet I can farm Dynamis daily without complaint.

I finally got Synergy to level 80 in anticipation of the Salvage and AF2 upgrades, but I'd be just as happy as anyone else to see SE not go down that path. I don't really want to end up Synergizing stuff for everyone I know, but I also wouldn't ask them to navigate a crappy menu system 10,000 times just so they can do it themselves.
