I absolutely hate the restrictions they're imposing on desynthesis. One of the best things about crafting in FFXIV as compared to FFXI is that we can level everything.

These arguments about "balance" and not wanting "people to corner the market" are inherently flawed as:

- there is no better balance than allowing every player to level desynthesis to 100 in every craft. Forcing players to specialize is what will create imbalance.

- a player that really wants to corner the market will just have multiple characters with different specializations (like people did in FFXI).

These restrictions are ruining the best aspect of crafting in FFXIV in exchange for nothing of value. This is just a response to the people whining about how they can't make 1 synth and sell it for millions because they have to deal with competition.
