Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

[alexhatesmil]

Did everyone forget that the old Philosophy Tome materials drop from the new dungeons? And they seem to all drop 8 at a time. There's no reason anybody should be spending close to 800,000 seals on these things. Just wait until the prices for these things bottom out on the Market Board.

^^^^

Also, non-crafters have seals...hmmm. I wonder if there is a way...for them to use those seals...to sell items...to crafters. Welp, we'll never know!

Also: Shush. I bet 90% of the stuff you are complaining about will be solved and short-cutted by people with more fortitude and work ethic than you. Don't worry, the devs might have intended for you to have to work for this stuff, but the same people that figured out how to do stuff the easy way before will be able to teach you how to short-cut it again.

In addition: There is A LOT of stuff that was pretty freakin' instant to get. I fully glamoured my PLD in like, 4 minutes with my 50 ARM and my FC mates 50 BSM. I did all 3 HMs after the lolQuests to get them. The stuff I want really bad (tank mount, Coil9, etc) is going to take work, just the the stuff you really want (Crafting end-game) is going to require you to get to the end-game of crafting to be able to obtain it.

This patch was vertical progression, you need to ladder your skills and equipment up to obtain it. Instead of killing demons, you need to knit socks.

Or people can loosen their coin purse and spend some gil... we are crafters after all and the rich elite ....
