SQUARE-ENIX, remember not to marginalise crafters

[TonyMontana]

To be honest most of the stuff in here sounds like:

'we don't think crafting is important so SE shouldn't, the crafter's should just play the way we want to play and forget about crafting because we think its a waste of time. If they want to quit then we don't care, convert and be like us or leave the game!'


As I said, I play fighting and crafting classes and I see the importance in both and one should not be belittled just because some don't like to craft or don't see the importance in it like others do.

Oh and as someone mentioned the only reason people craft is to fix their own gear, well I'm an Alchemist and Cook so obviously that is NOT the reason why some people craft. Maybe they craft because they enjoy it?

I say let crafting be important in some capacity, just like fighting classes are. If this game were the real world (which I'm sure some of you will argue that its not) it would suck if there were no cooks to feed people, or people to repair damages weapons, or gear. To be honest, if this were a real world the people making sure that the fighters have everything needed to defend their home are just important as the people defending it. Without them there would be no gear, weapons etc.

Seems like a childish argument to say one class isn't as important as another class just because they don't go out a fight or cause damage. Every class is important in its own way, and should be treated with respect due to that.

But I know a lot of ya'll will disagree with me and that's ok!

Crafting can serve the same function being a side thing and not a main path.

how can crafting serve the same function as being a main class in the game by being a side class? yes, in life they do have people that are a decent carpenter, but you do not see them doing major projects. my mom can put a nice patch on a torn set of jeans, but do you think she could make a multi million dollar wedding gown? the point is there is a difference between a side thing and a main job.

And what is that difference in the context of the games? Besides repairs, and the mini game how is it different from XI?
