9 Coke required now? (or other)

Reika is correct. There is no point to crafting other than cooking and alchemy. Why would I waste my time crafting if I can just get the best gear grinding dungeons. Crafters are basically being punished for spending so much time crafting. Why would I grind dungeons AND craft when grinding dungeons is all I need to do to have the best gear? You could say "to have the best gear you can until you get the best gear in the game," but that is just a bunch of BS. What so I can have the best gear for a week or two before I have all ilvl 90 gear? And the craftable ilvl 70 gear with full materia isn't even that much better and you don't need it to clear content so what's the point? There is no point, at all. Get your DL, grind BC and get your best gear.

I'm so glad I maxed out all my crafts in 1.0. I thought I was getting ahead for when 2.0 came out. Jokes on me.

That's my bone to pick as well.
If I could have crafted without the dungeon grind I would have accepted lower gear. The dungeon gear being rewarded was for the dungeons and I understood that and respected it. Usually people who grind dungeons don't take to crafting and people who migrate to crafting loath dungeons. (me)

I want crafting quests to get coke and potash. I don't care how foolish they make them but I refuse to queue for dungeons to craft.

This is also a super good idea but they would need to equalize the 2-star material cost across all the ilvl 70 crafted.
