I don't like how people are saying it forces people to level alts. You guys are making it seem like you don't play with other players or don't associate with other players who by chance level crafting abilities you will not. The point of this is to create a working, flowing, economy. Not an system full of independence. Our markets are currently total crap. People can craft whatever they like whenever they need and that's cool but specialization in my opinion is a great thing. I mean, yeah we lost the fact that we can do it all by ourselves, but now you're being forced to interact and depend on others for what you lack or are lacking in.

I've played FFXI so I can see where this is necessary. Those who haven't probably should do some research or something. I can probably think of one person this would affect though and thats somone in my FC...She's all for Crafting..Crafting is Life...to them lol that's the only downside.
