The grind is real

[ImDingDing]

It seems like people are still going to be masters of all (or most), despite some of the claims that the grind is insane, and you'd have to pick one.

My evidence is that there's a fair amount of new crafted gear on the market board, despite few of the items needed to craft them sold (in the market history). So either, people are making the components themselves or they're trading outside of the market board (and I'm not seeing much in /Shout so it would have to be in LS or FC).

I reached that point 10 days after 2.2 launch with a full time job. Like I said if they want to make a real grind they need to raise the price of the mainhand tool to 1k, 2k or even 5k HQ tomes.

I agree that the grind isn't that bad.... but I'm guessing in those 10 days you didn't also get the DoL tools, and do Levi, and cap soldiery, and do turns 5-8?

I'm happy with the amount of "grind" involved for one craft, but I would have preferred some exclusivity... like only let you get one master book, or one master tool (from HQ tomes)... or make the second one twice the price and so on???

I capped soliery, beat mog ex and practiced levi. My coil static has member issues so I stopped at T5. But yeah, I got ur point, I agree on that too.
