Today we got another twist to something we asked for.

Rather than removing the pointless Crystal Petrifact system, they are giving us cruor, at 1st this didn't seem so bad, but at 100 cruor per petrifact you are looking at about 259.5 gil for each, rather than the 2~5k from ore, ingots, and logs, which would drop in their place instead. Not that I like logs/ores, but at least it was better than this, and allowed us to put more materials into circulation, and prevent more gil coming into circulation via blinker runs, which we know is exactly what this cruor will end up going to.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised though, just like with VW drops in the 1st place, they choose to twist our wants to fit their own desires and even make it more complex then it has to be in order to fix problems, or rather, put work into making problems slightly less shitty.
