Why do the level 90 beast tribe only require level 80 crafters.

You would think that an endgame activity would require an endgame level.

Why does everything in this game have to be the equivalent of a cheap mobile game.

This basically.

The argument people make is it is 'catch up for people that don't have level 90 crafters'
^
Where the hell have these people been and what have they been doing for the last year?

Do they play the game?

Why are they getting handouts if they don't put effort into leveling?

Because the beast tribes have, and always will only be a leveling activity.

It was a leveling activity in ARR.
It was a leveling activity in HW.
It was a leveling activity in SB.
It was a leveling activity in ShB.

They are 'endgame' unlocks for the purposes of levelling.

This is the most nonsensical argument I have ever seen. Not everyone has been around for the start of the expansion.

My memory might be failing me, but I don't recall being able to use Trained Eye on the Dwarves dailies. Not that it really matters, anyway. It's all super trivial.

I have been leveling every other combat job while I wait for the crafting beast tribe to come out because leveling by grinding leves and wasting my own mats is pointless since I don't keep crafting at 90 for any sort of competitive sales.



You wanna cry some more that they gave me something I expected and planned for?

Or you'd apparently rather have a crafting beast tribe with NO point other than the currency rewards and faction score?

Getting to level 90 as a crafter is not endgame.

Endgame begins when you start crafting the latest battle gearsets of each patch, and sell them on the Marketboard.

Its to be another source of exp for crafters so of course crafter tribes will always be 10 levels or so behind from max to achieve this.

Why is this a complaint? My word, just when I think the FFXIV community couldnt nitpick anything else, they have to now nitpick the established standard for crafter tribes since ARR. Such an embarrassing thread topic, although not as embarrassing as the recent lalafell chairs thread lol

Because it is not intended as an endgame activity only. All the beast tribe quests are designed so they can be used for leveling. The latest one is no different from the earlier ones in that regard.

All tribe quests since Heavensward have been for catching up. So were the Ixal (yknow, the crafters) in ARR.
