Crafters definitely need more value in this game.
Still, at the moment, I don't see how anyone can say alchemists are in poor shape. They have more long term worth and marketing power than the majority of other crafters; the only one that is probably better is CUL.

Can't blame SE for people not knowing how good potions are. I'm not saying I have a solution, but buffing potions is not the answer.

The thing is in ffxiv people aren't wiping because they don't have min max gear and potion rotations but because they didn't respond accordingly to the next move in a bosses sequence.
Now we're straying off topic. That's a completely different problem for another time.

People want gear. People want stats. People want power to do better in encounters. Potions do exactly that; their effectiveness is simply poorly judged.
