Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

787,500 seals to get 7 level 50 crafters the Master books...I don't mind work, but that's just completely insane.

people complained that there is nothing worth they can spend their seals for once they are lv50. SE heard to the feedback.

Question: Is the non-crafting portion of this patch just as time consuming/difficult?

Very true, but you need 112,500 seals for EACH of your crafters (assuming you can 100% HQ your durability 40 2 star items). You can reduce that a bit if you're lucky with dungeon drops I guess.

This post is so funny, but I thought the same... Dang! It's a game and the content just released. It's A LOT of stuff for us to do...now between eqn landmark, ffxiv catch up, drums, painting, housework...I don't have time for it all because I'm lazy and like to take naps half the day as well. Fuq.

I think the point is to force specialization onto crafters, and that it isn't feasible to be able to make every item for every craft like it was before this patch. That's why the costs are so incredibly high just for one Master book. It was a way to try and revive the Market Board and make the system closer to XI's crafting, without having to also put a firm barrier in your path similar to XI.

Getting all crafts at max level shouldn't be cheap, or easy.

While I don't disagree, the requirements for Master recipes is currently just insane. Also, I notice you pretty much don't do crafting..............

k so next time they should add things to the game and keep us less informed on whats in the patch thanks to you. Great thank you for your suggestion sir.

Well, I hope that their intention isn't to force crafting specializations, because being capable of leveling all crafts and crafting all items on a single character is one of the best things in FFXIV.
