I 100% agree with you Noata. They are thinking about the future and how to make the game more appealing and accessible to new players. FFXIV's crafting system did take some time to get used to and we all eventually accepted it. Now they are scaling things back and we are afraid of more changes. Honestly most of this entire thread is only focusing on the one or two "negatives" while disregarding all the potential good of the system. Also yes I do feel we should take some time to understand the new system before condemning it. We can speculate all we want about this and that but until we're using it we have no idea how things will truly turn out.
