New idea for trade craft/ gathering dungeon.

I hate to be whiny, but I am getting quite tired of these "No" like responses. Like why can't you do anything for the crafters?
This game soley relies on Gear Treadmil and when ask for variety...still no, this Hamlet Defence business sounds like something fun for everyone.
You barely put crafters all that useful in this game, and I actually enjoy crafting...in a MMO for once. At least we can make it more fun.

Because people said 1.x did nothing right - meaning involving crafters in content was "wrong" too, so Yoshida changed it to where crafting and such is worthless (in the grand scheme of things.) Look at Aetherial gear while leveling - That's HQ stats+ Bonus unless you waste gil melding something that'll only be useful for 1 or 2 levels max.

Sadly, a lot of ARR's changes are here from the loudest group during 1.x polls.

Also mostly their fear of RMT's is what preventing them from implementing anything actually exciting for crafting or materia system imo.
