9 Coke required now? (or other)

[Reika]

people who cant think and see what it is they really did with the change will be the death of the crafting system. Of course there are items people wont bother making, vanya pants especially. Its because the system is not balanced. Increasing every thing to 9 is not balanced, or smart, or the way to go. Sure, the things should cost more than they did prior to making everything +9, but that isn't the solution. I have a better solution that they should have been doing before they released the damn game on the first post.. Only heavy darklight armor and flanchards are properly priced, and can stay the same price with tuning of the recipes.

The only real reason they did this is because these recipes didn't get any of their attention prior to launching the game, so they do something to make it so only the insane would go for. So you have a few guilds that have people with apparently no lives and pump themselves up on caffeine to boringly run whatever dungeon they ran 15 or so times a day so they can make themselves some shiny stuff not even hugely greater than darklight until you go through even MORE grinding to make materia, even MORE to level up the crafts (probably willingly supplied by botters, since some don't even have gathering classes up high enough to gather the mats for leveling everything to 50??). what of it? they should balance it all around those people, with no lives? how about no.

Of course, SE is likely looking at the very tiny handful of people who roll over and accept their idiocy and think its all good. And yes, there are only a tiny handful that actually thing what they did is cool. tiny.
