They haven't abolished the crafting system. You're exaggerating the situation and making an argument out of nothing. My point stands. They are trying to streamline the crafting system in order to alleviate pressures on the inventory and (someone else had mentioned) that since they are introducing some expansion to the crafting (Materia) that it would be prudent to make sure you don't have an overly complex system. Unless SE adds a way to expand inventory (2 retainers isn't helping and I'm up to 8 retainers) and guarantee the number of active players throughout each time zone, there isn't going to be one popular solution. Also, "again" implies that I've been pushing a type of argument repeatedly. Not sure if you need glasses for a deficient vision, but what you quoted was my very first response in this thread (this particular post is now my second)
