Well I agree 100% with the point about the old crafting items like potash, peacock etc. 2,500 seals for one? Really? They were much easier to farm before this patch. It's funny how you can easily obtain myth now and there's no cap but old crafting mats are now harder than ever to get. Think about how many fates you have to run just to get 1 OUT OF THE 9 items you need to craft just 1 of the 5 items you need to turn in. What do you get from the average high level fate, like 260 seals? You would need to literally farm fates all day just to make 1 vanya silk.
Now if you want to make the new materials hard to get I understand that, but why make old items much harder to obtain?
