As opposed to now, where the difference between a good crafter and a bad crafter is who has time to farm marks at each leve reset, who has the most time to farm +3 drops off mobs or the most gil to buy them, who has the most time and unwatched movies on Netflix to dump into pressing the action button a million times to create parts?

I get that you don't like the changes. But don't imply that the current timesink is anything other than that--you've already talked about the "hours and hours" you've put into it.
