SQUARE-ENIX, remember not to marginalise crafters

[Alise]

DoW,DoM,DoL,DoH. all need to respect each other classes, they play style is different, but economy work around them as one-whole. The fact that they all need each other help. This make the game community look real.

I think only people with no relationship or people who like to solo all the time would hate how he/she need to rely other in this game. But I think this is how MMO suppose to be. People need to make friends and work as team.

Exactly, all of the different classes should be respected for what they can do. No one should be told they are playing the game wrong, or are less for playing what they wanna play. I play all four different types of classes and I see the value in all four, I see how all four work together to make this game work.

No Crafters and Gatherers can't do everything that a Fighter or Mage class can do, and they shouldn't be able to. But just because they can't fight doesn't mean they are useless and should be pushed aside and made into some non-existent sub area of the game.

If the crafter's weren't making the gear and weapons for all of the fighters and mages, then the people that loathe crafting oh so much would be forced to do it which would waste their precious time that they could be out there fighting. People, if they are full time crafters or part time crafters, are doing what others don't want to do... just like sometimes people don't want to be a fighter or a mage and those players are doing what others don't want to do. In doing this, they are saving those people that hate crafting the time that they would waste having to make their own gear. But in return they get told they are less, that crafting isn't needed, if people don't like that they should just leave the game. Oh yeah baby, feel the love.

I believe that the NM's should have equal drops of actual gear and crafted gear, no the game shouldn't revolve around crafting but on the flip side, no the crafter's shouldn't just be pushes aside. Instead of people arguing over who's virtual character has the bigger e-peen because they are better than a crafter/gatherer, how about players work together... which is the bloody point of a MMO. Get off your virtual high horse, stop putting down classes because some don't LIKE that class, and figure out ways we can BALANCE the game and make every class important in it's OWN way. People who are putting down a class and saying it should be less important just because they don't like it are only gonna come out looking like childish players who feel this game should revolve around how they want to play it and forget everyone else who doesn't agree.

Really people...

Sir, are YOU stupid? Currently, this game revolves around crafting. Players may go kill NMs for hours, but without a crafter, they are useless.

Last time I looked it was only the high level NM's that dropped supplies that crafters could use to make gear. There are 20 new mid-range NM's that drop not only regular gear that can be used but premade NM gear/weapons that don't need a crafter at all. So how is that the game revolve around crafters because people spend hours fighting NM's and then need crafters to make it?


Let me explain how some people work, from personal experience... might be a new concept for some, but its called working together. This is how a MMO should be, not people belittling one another because they feel 'x' class isn't important.

The fighters/mages who don't like the craft (which is their right) get supplies that can be used in crafting while fighting. What are they gonna do with it? Well they could sell it, but instead they give it to the people within the group that enjoy crafting.

Now the people who enjoy crafting are getting free supplies to continue to level up their skills, now they can make gear/weapons for the fighters/mages. Do they make it and charge regular prices? No because due to those people who gave them free supplies they were able to rank up for much cheaper.

So they make the gear for free, or very discounted prices. This helps the fighters/mages because now they can get much better gear for their classes and for their ranks without having to spend a ton of gil or wait for it to pop up in the wards. Now they go out, fight more and get more supplies, they bring those supplies back and give it to the crafters... and once again the beautiful circle of working together happens.

SO without the fighters/mages the crafters in their shell wouldn't get free supplies. Without the crafters in said shell, the fighters/mages wouldn't get free/cheap gear and would have to stalk the wards looking for their gear. Of course the gatherers are in there too, which are a blessing to any crafting class. <3

Now stop the hate and appreciate that EVERYONE in this game WORKS together to make this game BETTER.
