Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[Tiggy]

But you forget that they added 3x repeatable leves. And then added Ixal EXP super bonus for crafter leveling. They also added artisan tools, and then supra tools. They have made the same adjustments just with different means since crafting is different from raids. And while you may not complain or pay attention to it, other players have complained. Whether complaints are justified or now it is whole other issue. But SE making the game more accessible is SE doing the right thing both by the player base and for their business. New content is like having a new race so a new starting line. Complaining about SE making the game accessible via making older content more accessible is not a valid complaint.

You really missed the point. The point wasn't that they added stuff to help crafting at all. It's that she doesn't go around begging for hand outs and openly accepts that somethings she hasn't done yet may be tough and time consuming when she finally does. Also, they add new crafting and gathering stuff every 3 months. The "new" tier is a more consistently moving bar than coil so it's going to be upgraded at a faster pace to match. If she decided to level a craft to three starts today she'd have to take nearly every crafter to 50, fully meld a gear set, gather/create the items for foragers, and then spend the boat loads of gil on the Supra.

However let's discuss you're examples. 3x repeatable leves were there from the beginning and were only tweaked in a patch that didn't change their rewards that drastically so that changes very little in the long run. The Ixal only has 6 quests a day so it doesn't change much if she's trying to bum rush to 50 in all crafts quickly as it's mainly effective if you want to slowly level your craft over a few weeks. You also list the Supra and Foragers tools. Those tools you listed actually make getting to max crafter harder not easier since it's additional work on top of getting the classes to 50. So do you even know what you're talking about? It doesn't seem like you do. Getting a craft to 3 stars from nothing is a considerable time and money investment. In my opinion you could easily down T1-9 in a group at a quicker pace than starting all that from scratch.
