Yes or No.Craft Mastery Limit.

Well, I won't pretend I know more then the average gent here about economics, but I do know Animation. And I know that if every modeler-texturer-concept/lighting/storyboard artist etc also could animate as well as me, well I would have a really good time finding work! Much like that industry, I think MMOs should encourage specialization mastery and teamwork towards greater goals that one should not be able to accomplish alone.

Also, XI had a limit system on crafts and it seemed to work out well enough. I would think that the devs in charge of its implementation knew at least a thing or two about MMO economics.

An issue I have with that comparison is that FFXI was not structured around crafting being a class in its own right. Placing a restriction across DoL is, philosophically, very little different from placing a restriction across DoW.

To be honest that is my personal problem with this system.
if it goes the ffxi route.

other types well meh i dont care so much.
Why? because the only real restriction was paying for a mule (wich it gives an advantage to those who dont care to pay extra to have more than 1 maxed whatever.)
Everyone who did want to have multiple crafts , payed and rerolled.
Without limitation the only difference is SE aint geting that extra $$.
I did it , and i sucked it up on ffxi, and since day one i was happy i didnt have to do it again,

If the system wont be like ffxi´s then whatever.But i rather make my stand now rather than later.

I dont care about game economics , at all.I simply do not wish to pay more if i decide to have more than 1 craft like it happened in 11.

Like i said on op is all based on pure speculation , but i like to say NO to paying more.
Before they introduce that option.Idc if affects game economy or whatever to be honest.Even if i think that makes no difference.

You dont need to max everything, this system only affects those who want to max 2-3 , and that is pretty comun in small self- suplyed linkshells.


edit: well lets talk about economy since is a good topic actually.
also , ffxi economy alright ? yea sure 4 years after , i still have nightmares of paying 20m for a scorpion harness becouse the crafters were overpricing everything and there was a tremendous inflation on items and next 2 weeks was under 1 million.

The economy ONLY did stabilize when there was hundreds of crafters maxed.

if they limit it , its gonna go to hell and back until enough people can supply the big demand that limiting brings with.hand full of Crafters monopolizing the whole markets , is this what you want ?

The problem right now is that there is not enough "items" .that is all.Everyone crafting the same 5 synths per craft.

edit:to resume the w"alloftext"

limiting leads to a handful of crafters controlling the market.For a few years.
We need new players,overpriced items is not noobie friendly.
