A solution to the Crafting/Gathering/Economy crisis.

[Toranja]

This is a "temporary" solution, because it would be exhausted eventually.

A solution would be to remove repair and simply allow gear to disappear or only convert it when it wears out. Substituting gear obtained from dungeons with crafting materials would help alot. Also, making harder to level up would be also help mid-level crafted gear.

Also, I didn't know there was an "crisis" going on. What's the problem exactly? Prices aren't to your liking? So? If you are going to say "Housing", then the problem is in that particular market.

As far as putting materia slots on all weapons goes, I kind of like that they're not on unique/blue items, as I've always felt that gear of that nature should exist as a 'defined' item that has a distinct identity. That said, they've made even that gear feel generic enough that I wouldn't oppose it too much if they actually did it. I'd rather Blues/Purples actually stand out though. :-/

I'd wish the game a painful death, quit, and never look back.
