Mistake in Craftsmanship Requirements?

[Reika]

Considering it's pointless to make the gear that requires that much CMS/C and just get Darklight, I think it's high enough .

Nah, I think they should have raised the required stats rather than make it take 9 of each token item. Would have been better.

They could have also simply raised the amount of gathered materials it takes to make the stuff, thus takeing a lot of out out of the loop with one craft.

To below: I know they don't want us to make the gear and go for darklight instead, I have my own thread about that.

That would make sense if SE's goal was to increase the cost/difficulty of those synths. As it stands right now their goal is to make sure those gears are so ridiculously cost-ineffective that most sane players wouldn't bother.

SE is basically saying "Don't make these gears, go dungeon spam for darklights instead".
