FFXIV - A Step to P2W (My 2.45 Feedback)

[Tupsi]

Ok, with 10 mil, that's all 8 crafts from 1-50.

With a friend or significant other to craft you leve turn ins or give you HQ mats to start your exp base a lot higher than if you had no HQ mats or access to mats also can powerlevel your crafts, thus you actually gain no advantage over anyone else by buying gil to level crafts, unless of course you have no friends or someone willing to help you. Then who's actually winning? The guy with no friends spending money on virtual currency..or the guy with friends/loved one that's helping them level?

So you're trying to defeat other people's arguments with an argument that can be defeated before it even was set forth.

Or most of a BiS crafting set

Which unless you're out to craft and HQ 4 star you don't actually need the 2.4 set. People were HQing 3 star in the 2.2-2.3 BiS which, btw, you could get "for free" considering how much Mythology rained on you. So once again:

Where are the Exp Potions? Drop Boosts? Access to exclusive raids that gives you better gear than what people can get from it? Oh did you know? Crafters and Gatherers can get Exp boosts from their Grand Company? Since you know you keep bringing up crafting..guess that's pay to win too in your definition. Since yeah, I paid GC seals and level faster than the guy who didn't by the Exp manuals, with in-game currency. :>

Seriously though, where's the screenshot of the ability to be far superior to someone who doesn't use the cash shop? Still waiting.

Do you even read?

The comment was made on ''World First'' which is Combat related ? Am I wrong?
Majority are arguing the ''COMBAT'' advantage on this thread , am I wrong ?
Players with gear above average now still lack the actual skill to excel in combat , am I wrong ?

And the argument was intelling that they'll be able to acquire gear to help them win in combat.....nearly everyone is lvl 50 in Crafts and Gathering and a good 30-40% of servers are still losing .....so who's winning ?

Yeah, the only way to argue against what you stated is to pull out arguments of something completely unrelated. Heck if you need to buy gil in a game where gil comes insanely easy..you're doing something horrendously wrong.

Agree. Been leveling all craft classes from lvl36-37 up to lvl40 to get self-repair and in those few levels i made 500-600k gil just by leveling them, didnt even try to make any money really. Also using scrubby vendor gear so i got some nice crafter materias that went from 40 to 70k gil each and that too gave nice gil bonus on top of spammed mats.
