(THIS IS SATIRE)
Guess it's our turn to rebel against those Disciples of War and Magic. They would never have their gear without us spending mats and crystals crafting for them. We should go on a strike y'all! D:<

Because Crafted gear will become available in the same patch. So they'll have to manually gather all the stuff to make it themselves. Pots alone would take stupid amount of time. -

Crafters literally only have auto attacks this is a outrage!!

I'm still waiting for a S rank that's spawned by crafting something.
Gatherers have multiple S ranks, so this imbalance should be addressed. -

Unironically...
Crafters are one of the few people that actually do deserve a strike.
What they did with crafting between Stormblood > Shadowbringers is borderline massacre. -

06-21-2024, 06:29 PMKaurhzWe had a lot more abilities and diversification of how you could express skill and a rotation. But they tuned this down dramatically, and if memory is to recall their justification for was so that people could figure it out for themselves versus just picking up a macro from somewhere, but the cold reality there is that this changed nothing. So ultimately the gutted a good portion of the crafting skillset for no apparent reason whatsoever. Crafting at the time was actually a big selling point of the game for me because it had a fully-flushed out system behind it.Quote:

I don't even care about the Gil-making behind it, but it's gone from having a really flushed out system with significant depth, to having very little depth whatsoever, at the expense of wanting people to try their own rotations, to try their own macros -- Which arguably they look more at what other people are doing, and what other guides say, more than they ever did in the past, IMO. -

Lmao. Everyone and their mom are omnicrafters since ShB. Just copy the latest macro from the balance, follow a meld set and even the most braindead casual can be Byregot himself.

06-21-2024, 06:52 PMJojoyaIt's already happening. So many players logging in to play the game this week despite all these strikes.Quote:
