I was really looking forward to working on a new craft this coming update. It bums me that they announced this and then they doubled back on it...

I mean, they let us level any job we want to max by sitting around in Abyssea trading keys to a box, but still maintaining these rigid crafting caps which have to actually be earned through a lot of time, work, and money, in a game where people aren't even crafting anymore since it it only makes obsolete gear these days. It just seems backwards to me. Maybe it won't fix the game's economy on its own but it would at least give players more ability to craft their own stuff.

The issue really is that crafting is irrelevant since the way people experience now makes buying the early gear irrelevant. Until SE finds a way to bring exping back outside of Abyssea for lower levels in a way that doesn't infuriate those that seek Abyssea parties to leech, I don't think you will see a more populated Auction House.
