o.O Overkill on the crafting Dumb down?

[Oscillate_Wildly]

When will players like OP understand that new dev team is trying to simplify things to attract more players so that they can justify charging sub fees or as well just turn it into F2P with cash shop. Tanaka tried to make a game which appeals only to few and look what the end result was. If FFXIV need to survive it needs to get more players simple, and that is the reason behind changes like this.

At the end of the day it is a business and they have to make FFXIV profitable or just shut it down. There is only for so long you can dump resources into MMO and keep it free.

People like you are even far more obnoxious than obvious trolls, and here is why. How do you know what rakes in the money? It couldn't be fun, innovative game play now could it? Definitely couldn't be the content they continuously rape until it's sore. You know what would help them gain even more players?

By not releasing patch after shoddy patch that's barely ready to be TESTED let alone unleashed on their unsuspecting players.
You know what else this suggests? I can't think the team is very proud of this new patch, if they were they would have started talking about it earlier. Shoving the notes slowly into our faces days before the patch is out, instead of making note of it in letters explaining weeks down the road what they're planning to do with the synthesizing system does not sound like happy decision making.

It sounds lazy, rushed, and not even CLOSE to thought through. Just like the battle system was, just like future patches are likely to look like.
And why?
Because you crazy mofos don't know when to stop asking for things that don't need to be fixed right this minute.


Edit: And I mean explained in detail, and not just teased. We thought they meant knocking down a few culinary recipes or dyes, not the removal of half of the items created by each crafting class, ie the parts.
You don't seem to understand that crafting has moved from parts to full pieces. And if you can't understand why sudden waves of easily completed pieces are going to be an issue, then you're in for a treat.
I'm no doomsayer or whatever it is you're calling them, but here is what I predict.
If you don't have a +3 anything, you're not prepared.
If you didn't +3 a piece, try try, and try until it's useful.

They're slowly degrading, and I don't think it will stop here, a system to the point where now being a crafter is almost laughable.
Lazy lazy lazy Yoshida.
