Let the hate flow through you?

Was I the only one who interpreted the entire OP as a series of innuendos?
Don't let the elfin men distract you.
And, yes, I was focused on how much better the system is, not 'oh look at me I can be generous', as if anyone cares about that. :p
To the op, Good on ya!
To the guy saying the op is bragging about their charity. I think this story has more to do with an appreciation for the new crafting system than with anyone being "charitable".
Basically:
Old way
Plumed bronze pick axe (r11 weaver already starting of silly)
1 bronze pickaxe ( okay have one of those)
1 cock feather ( common drop from mobs and logging)
1 bolt undyed cotton cloth ( r 10ish weaver okay doable)
1 iron buckle (r 25 ARMORER?!?) one of these things is not like the other!
New way
Plumed bronze pickaxe (lvl 11 blacksmith, now that makes sense)
1 bronze pick axe (see above)
1 cock feather (still a common drop)
1 bronze rivets ( lvl 10ish blacksmith)
Holy jeepers I will actually, likely have that kinda stuff or can make it on the fly while out mining!
How can you avoid being distracted by Elezen men though :(
Back on topic: I had a very similar experience (I was the schmuck getting crafted for) in an XP party I was in the other night. I had hopelessly outleveled my weapons because the XP was delicious and insane, I was sad about it, my friend asked "Hey, if you have some sheepskin I can snap together a new weapon real quick", bam, it was there.
Really, really sold the effectiveness of the new item system to me.
Way to go OP, The game needs more of you!
FXIV? Social? GTFO!!!!!! ;)
And here I thought FFXIV was a game with a lot of NPCs with weird names and weird crests next to their names. Their AI is pretty good, too. They never talk to me though, not even when I select them and hit enter. :(
TC is the kind of player this game needs.
