Crafters only make money from other crafters this must end

[Grailer]

I rarely spend any gil at market . So I have to think crafting is not very profitable.

The only thing I acutally bought from crafters was the weapon needed for doing Relic quest.

So crafting must really only be good for selling to other crafters.


Never needed to use potions food etc even doing coil etc. Would it make things easier maybe but they don't have potion that allows you to move out of AOE faster do they


The only way to make crafting work would be to make it essential part of obtaining gear in the game . Bosses should drop items needed to craft the best items , not the actual items themselves . Even that is a dead end market because once the person has
the item they don't need it twice .

Consumables equipment is where the money is at . Items that slowly breakdown to the point another one has to be made eventually. So that lvl 50 character is constantly farming for new gear forever .

I'm pretty sure crafted gear is already better than Philo.

But they're at least four times more expensive, not worth the effort for most people when DL is sufficient.

And that is another thing , the amount of Gil obtained doing just combat is pathetic and most of my gil goes on repairs .

So how do we buy stuff if we don't have any gil to spend ?

The only influx of amounts of gil into the system are from crafters. They buy thy philo mats from the combat people and now with the prices dropping so much on the mats there is going to be a recession soon. Last week the crafters were paying 25 to 30k per mat this week your lucky to get 21k and they are bitching at paying that but i havnt noticed the crafted gear drop in price to equate the drop in mats, last week crafted was 500k plus this week is still the same but the mat prices have dropped.

You should not be forced to craft in a game if you dont want to and as it stands right now the only influx of cash in the system are the crafters. The way its going items wont be worth anything soon since crafters are only going to be the ones with any larg amounts of cash.

Something that would help a lot would be for the lvl 50 gear dropped in dungeons to be able to be sold on the market, that would generate cash for the combat people and then they could afford to buy crafted gear. Honestly how many people running WP and AK actually take the drops now, there isnt a reason to since you cant sell them, break them down and you dont need them to wear. I dont think i have ever played a game that all max lvl gear was untradeable , there have always been items you could sell to other players in this instance there is not anything you can sell but tome mats or HM runs...

So basically the game is broken .
