All of the QQ about this game doing what every other MMO does is getting old. Crafters have a place, yes, but it shouldn't be the ONLY place.
What are you, stupid? Of course it should be the ONLY place in an economy based on crafting. The mobs that drop full gear are an insult to the crafting profession. You think the fact that FFXI had mob drops means that FFXIV should have them? No it doesn't. That is poor reasoning.

A system should seek to improve itself instead of falling back to the status quo and repeating old mistakes. FFXIV set out to improve upon the stagnant economy of FFXI, so why should they now seek to reincarnate the very flawed system they set out to avoid in the first place.
