9 Coke required now? (or other)

[Reika]

What annoys me right now is some people apparently still have these items from 1.0? (Overpricing them on the marketplace.) Well, I had two full stacks of minium, but they changed it to cinnabar! How is this fair at all?

Thats actually an excellent point. Why didn't they change ALL the mats into something semi-useless so that people couldn't skip all the grind.

Darksteel ingot -> Darksteel nugget, Vanya Silk -> Twinthread, Coke -> Grenade ash, etc. Instead they made it so that select few have this stuff ready to create from at the start of service, but think its cool to screw everyone else over. Just a bit more proof that they didn't think this one through.

And a nice bit of news from the new server Moogle http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...e-EU-nonlegacy

Looks like they didn't waste time with the waste of time crafting/gathering system ey. The only thing crafters are good for is relic craft bitches, and they probably just bought theirs from someone that wasted all their time if they bothered with it b4 hard primals, for cheap too.
