Offline crafting/gathering leveling

A better idea would be for them to actually make crafting fun and less of a tedious button-smash.

It reminds me of WoW's "rested experience" system but OP said it auto-leveled. At least in WoW you have *to do* something to gain XP to use the rested state.

In case you haven't played WoW, rested experience is a bonus XP multiplier given when the player spends time logged off in cities or inns. There's a cap to the amount of bonus XP awarded.

Well I would rather smash standard than pull up a window that does everything for me like most games. Get a ps2 controller, get a usb to ps2 controller, download xpadder (not needed for ffxiv, but needed for plan), w/ xpadder set turbo button. I don't do this, but I saw someone on youtube do it, they set turbo on standard lol, and it does it for them.

Um i like crafting till now i dont find it boring. I dont think you should get any free sp while logged, why do i play when i can get the levels by not playing? o.o

And no Perfect World doesnt give xp when not logged in id totaly noticed that. XD
Jade Dynasty does have a botting option, you just turn that bot thing on, tell it when to use pots and go do smth else. Horrible! x.X
WoW's rested xp is a pain! You level so fast you dont even have the chance to do all quests to enjoy the Storyline. The less time you have to play the worse it gets. :(

I'm just Weaver lv 14 or so but i dont feel it is slow at all. There are other things that bug me but it is far from boring. Even a little to exciting when i start biting into my table when i see 70% progress and 30 durability on a craft which is slightly above my level.
At 85% and 13 durability or so im starting to come very close to a heart attack. And ye its great its more active then other crafting systems which are just plain boring or plain frustrating, sometimes both. :3

Can't have offline progress. People will make bots for that within 2 weeks of its inception, and with no way to prove you didn't craft all that stuff while offline there's no way to enforce any game rules.

Edit: ugh tired, read the thread entirely wrong so the above is irrelevant.
Still can't have automatic progress. Why even have levels at all then?
