Please do not destroy Mastercraft Demimateria like you did with FCIII.

[DarkmoonVael]

A system entirely based on random drops from desynth to be able to reach the next crafting gating is not particularly good design in the first place. Coupled with the innate imbalance with the desynth classes and how it favoures GSM above all else for mastercraft, it doesnt make for a fair or even playing field for the crafting classes. The entire notion of "i went through all the rnd grind to get mine, so should everyone else" is not a powerful or persuasive argument. This game has followed a trend where if you put the time and effort into something you get there before others, not in exclusion to others. Mastercraft demi will most likely get more sources in the future. Plus, there are many many many other gates to get through to become a 4 star crafter (shock horror, you even have to be a competant crafter this time to do 4 star synths!), that easing the drop rate/increasing the sources of master demis would have an unknown impact on end game crafting.

Bingo. First to beat end game content, currently FCoB, gets bragging rights. First to hit end game crafting has the market to make loads of gil.

They will add in new sources in 2.45, 2.5 at the latest so that everyone can get caught up before the expansion. When 3.0 comes out it won't matter if you hit that point first week of 2.4 or last week before 3.0
