2.4 Crafting - Grim as predicted

[Sartori]

That argument might hold water if end game crafted items were comparable to end game raiding gear thats faster/easier/cheaper to get for the most part.

SE said they want the best gear coming from raids, so nothing you craft will ever be comparable statwise to drops from dungeons, and no one will want it other than maybe for a glamour.

Not interested in crafting end game gear, I make money with it, lots of it. You'd be surprised at how much crafting you can do for alot of other items in the game. But that would take time and ambition and since things don't get handed too you its meh I ain't going to do that....

Well said Satori.

Any serious crafter has the gil (made from crafting) and time ready to set aside for the new recipes.

Ah yes, I want things handed to me.... not. I've got nearly every crafting class to 50 and I've made my share of millions on them as I leveled, don't think I didn't. (Nice try at a veiled insult btw, but really lame attempt)

Its not like I'm poor, I own a house of my own, and plenty of rare things that you dont see everyone walking around with, but SE keeps applying its "insane grind" logic to everything, and its getting real old real quick. High end crafting could be made challenging without feeling like its another 9-5 job.

This, its not "either-or", and it really feels excessive right now, especially in light of the fact that we are limited to decorative items.
