Eureka is actually causing real physical pain (lockboxes and crystals)

Please change the trade in method this is causing REAL pain in my hand.

When I laid down to sleep last night I heard the Raise sound over and over in my head. Its like some sort of tinnitus/PTSD.

It almost feel like they hinted you should take breaks between hunts to turn crystals in in smaller stacks so you won't break your wrist and fingers turning 400+ anemoe crystals in at once.

Spoilers: I didn't and now my hand regrets it. :p

Doing it with small breaks and doing it at once all still have the same issue: too many clicks to turn anemos into protean, since the conversion averages 3.5 proteans per anemos they should have an option to convert [] anemos into []*3 proteans like all NPC shops.

LOL I keep meaning to do that and with already having bad hands I should :P But you get so carried away on the FATE spam. Atm i'm saving lockboxes for the update so at least that's not bad atm.

I'd be happy with a 1-3 conversion with a trade all feature. As for lockboxes they should do X lockboxes for each item.

Almost like they should join software developers in 1974 and let you do turnins as a batch instead of clicking one button over and over again. For loops are an amazing development.

Similar thread where this was dicussed: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-at-a-time-%21

The NMs could just reward a large amount of protean and smaller amount of anemos so you'd have the kind of distribution you want already without doing any conversion. For lockboxes, drop less of them but increase the chance of them containing something useful.

I do not usually use gamepad in this game, but I find it really good for exchanging crystals.

We need one of those old school NES controllers with "turbo" (spams the button over and over).

I laughed out loud when I read this lol But YES!!

Eureka causes 3 known physical ailemnts:

1 . Eye bleeding

2 . Wrist/finger cramping

3 . Tinnitus

Lets hope they make things easier.

People want everything super simplified and instant gratification :rolleyes: If your hand hurts, take a break from playing.

Just mash num0.

I don't think anyone is under the impression it's complex. It's just boring and fatigue inducing to do this for 1000+ crystals.

1000+ crystals? You mean you guys AREN'T turning this stuff in at the start/end of every Eureka run?

Hand cramps/pains have been part of gaming since forever lol and you get used to it after awhile. Sure it still hurts but you know it's part of being a gamer :p

I really don't have the time. I get maybe 2-3 hours a day if that to play games. I'm usually joining a PF in kugane to queue, starting NM runs RIGHT away. If i get a free minute between NMs I don't usually want to waste my return to go back to the main camp since I might need it to quick travel later. When I'm done I'm usually pretty worn from near constant battles, killing things to spawn other things and I don't want to spend another 20 minutes clicking one button, gotta get to sleep so I can get up for work.

End of the week I finally get to play a little more relaxed , usually have a lot of crystals built up. Not to mention I'm now saving lockboxes for after the "hotfix" since I don't want fireworks.

I'd say it causes headache too. Staring a screen for hours on end CAN actually do that. But what are you gonna do? Need those feathers.

I had 2 full sets of gear and one weapon done days ago. I took breaks between spamming Gerolt of RNGdale.
(Count to 400 crystals then trade in for one upgrade and go away for a break)

I also just put the controller down on the table and spammed it lightly with my non dominant hand while watching Youtube or a movie.

Just buy one of these

It's slow but it's effective.

Also a heads up save your lockboxes for the hotfix for better loot.

Keyboard macro, ez. Or press the Num0 button with your feet, that's what I did with my fishing macro button before I had my keyboard, lol.
Regarding clntrollers.. what happened to turbo buttons anyway?

But for real, they should give us at least something like quick synthesis.
