Oh? What's that guild person? You want random useless H2H weapons that are never on the Auction House? Yes? Let me just go whip that up for you. It's quite satisfying.

Do tend to agree with the OP though, some GP items are an utter waste of time, and not worth making.
Yes on this. Alchemy main (I make my own bullets, cards, bolt heads, etc.) and I got a few subs working along / have friends who are also stubborn level 75's with tons of crafting levels. We can make just about anything the guild asks. Sometimes the points just aren't worth it though.

It's mostly been a thing of patience of when the "best" yielding guild points items are up. I still don't have Signboard. I do agree the guild points thing needs to be a little balanced. Balanced yes, easier no.

Even if you make it easier though, most players I know will just overlook it and focus on nothing but leveling up and using cruor-gil to buy everything and evidently quit FFXI because "there's nothing else fun to do."
