o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Denmo]

The problem is half these changes do nothing to streamline crafting. Making you use raw mats in place of parts does not make it fast and removing guild facilities and treatises does not make it faster or easier. These are useless changes that do not fix crafting. The only problem is the repetitive nature of the UI. But instead of addressing the real problem Yoshi decided to gut the system.

You seem to be on a different wavelength, my friend. No one here is arguing that the process of crafting itself is slower/faster. What will be faster here is the progress towards an end result. That end result being pieces of equipment. Or in your math:

No parts = Less synthing = Less time to make a Tunic.

Your kidding right? If you level on parts and parts are removed you now have to level on something more complicated which makes it slower. Its not like its going to be faster to gather the new materials than it was to gather the old materials. The only thing these changes effect is leveling a craft and they effect it negatively. With the exception of removing Facilities and treatises of course, that serves literally no purpose.

You're talking about leveling a craft being slower thanks to these changes. That is highly debatable. All this change means is that there will be more equipment in the markets, and less nonsense items nobody wants.
