Crafting Needs a Place in Endgame Raiding

[NeoAmon]

I enjoy making people stuff that they can use.

90% of the game takes place post-level-50 and, as I explained, none of the crafted gear post-level-50 is actually useful. Hell, the game even forces an entire level 50 gear set on you for free just by doing your last two job quests so you jump straight from i40 to i50 and never need crafted gear again because why bother wasting gil when you can just spend tomes?

You said you enjoy making people stuff they could use yet the rest of your post says something else. Here is how I interpret it:

"Why are end game raiders spending tomes to enjoy and beat the end game content? They should be paying me for their gear not spend dem tomes".

I know you will rush here saying I misunderstood you in one way or another or I'm saying something you did not say. However, this is the truth and the way it has been since the game came out. Crafters are greedy, their enjoyment is making Gill, as much as possible. They don't care if players go ahead and buy Gill with real money to pay them. The only care here is that they are getting paid. They also would like to be able to create themselves the best gear in game without the need of ever raiding (a lot of crafters are like this as they said many times in game while chatting with them). One crafter once told me he is collecting Gill so when the times come he can buy as many Coil carry as he can...

Proof? Read that huge thread mods closed when a good amount of crafters got suspended and got their gill reduced to nothing. They all agreed that their greed has nothing to do with players buying gill.

If you guys wanted to be fair you would have asked for something reasonable, to be involved in a very restricted manner with end game instead of being the end game. You could have asked for the ability to make the best gear better by modifying it for other players, you could have asked for enchantments, you could have asked to create parts for legendary gear while the majority parts are from Coil. You could have asked to create special items that has nothing to do with end game such as mounts and pets. You could have asked for many things that won't break the end game, won't ruin raiders fun, won't make RMT thrive...but no, you won't be able to make 40+ million Gill in pure profit so all other ideas are bad and the only solution is for you to create ilvl100-110 gear.

No.
