o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[syntaxlies]

maybe it will come together, maybe i am taking it out of context. but the way is read it atm is:

let use FFXI's crafting system (recipe wise) then use FFXI's synergy system to enhance gear.

now i played FFXI for the best part of decade and had no issues with the crafting system but FFXIV is not FFIXV if you make a new game you improve things. and stripping the synths to what you would expect to find in FFXI is not an improvement.

maybe wheel did not need reinventing.
