SE pls remove the DOH/DOL, if you nurf it so much

Thi sis what I've been stating in my previous post "Are Fates Killing the Economy". The problem is there are too many ways to accumulate gear through the level up process. You don't have to worry about weapon upgrade because your class quest provides one for you every 5 levels. You can buy gear from NPCs assuming you don't get what you need from questing or using seals. Then there are dungeon drops to compete with. Yeah sure Crafting gear is better but why spend the money when the dungeon drops can get what you need done for free of gil?

SE needs to revaluate the system. Needs to get rid of gear from NPCs, remove gear from quest items, and perhaps increase the costs of GC gear.

Truth is, since it's so easy to level in this game and that goes for crafting too ( literally leveled armor smithing from 33-42 in 1 hr) at some point the markets will literally be flooded with both HQ and NQ crafts that the demand for items will have to increase by a lot or the prices will plummet. But demand won't increase if the of gear isn't removed as stated above.

Leveling up crafting is still an extra side to just leveling battle classes and easily getting better gear while completely circumventing the crafting/gathering system. And there is still much you have to do prior to ever being able to craft the Ilvl70 gear, or even ilvl55 gear. At base EXP, Leveling Gathering classes is quite a bit slower than leveling crafting classes, and DoH are dependant on DoL after level 20 for further recipes. And leveling only 1 crafting class, you will have minimal skills necessary to really have any real shot at HQ'ing any of them. You'll need to level up all of them, or you're completely relying on a very low HQ chance, even with HQ mats.

And I'll note that some classes don't have skills you'll use too often or at all, and armorer is one of them. I make use of 7 of 8 cross classed lvl50(37 for culinarian) crafting skills and 4 of 8 lvl15 skills (3 of the skills are lower level duplicate of the level 50 ones).
