Is maintaining the the current status quo SO important that grind-crafters should remain disconnected from the Eorzean economy and continue to make items that can only be sold to NPC vendors??
Where do you think all your finished items are going to end up? Sold in the ward? LOL

Parts can and should be condensed and simplified. They just shouldn't be scrapped. Crafters need something to get them from point A to point B. This is hardly a complex concept and I am really having a hard time understanding why people are not grasping the problem here.
