So Thursday's maintenance is supposed to bring crafting/gardening adjustments...

[Hypie]

As opposed to soul binding gear for materia, completing challenge log entries, farming materials to sell on the MB, retainer ventures, gathering, desynthing, playing the MB, etc?

And you think doing this 1-2 times will be enough to pay the Crafting Stuff? Man you are so naive it hurts....i would be "forced" (not really but i hope you get what i mean) to do this for 1-2 MONTH'S to pay for a single damn Gear on the MB.

This has already been stated by previous posters, but allow me to reiterate... We're not required to support anyone.

Lemme correct you. YOU DON'T WANT TO...support. This is the Reality. You simply don't want that. You like "Power Position" you have. Thats completely normal for a Human. If i am King and someone wants to etablish Democracy i too would work towards to silence him.

Materials are easily farmable

That's a plain Lie and we both know this. But whatever.

So you wanted gear solely for glamour purposes, didn't agree with the prices being offered, and immediately declared all crafters to be greedy, capitalistic, money-whores whose only concern is making a 600% profit off the poor downtrodden masses? Did you bother to get the materials and ask a crafter to make those items using the materials you provided? Also you previously stated that "crafting wasn't easy" which is why we're able to "rip players off", but then you go on to say that making the items you wanted only consists of hitting 2-3 macros.

Sorry maybe i wasn't clear enough on the first Post. I had the Materials and over 30 Crafters still wanted to be paid 500-600K Gild just because they had the Receipt and could Craft that Stuff....thats pretty much being a asshole if you ask me. And sorry i misspelled the Word it's called "Monopoly".

Yes Crafting is "not easy" and "easy" If i would RMT 20 Mills and go on Crafting it would be jackass easy. I copy the Macros from a Guide and be done with it. The Road to the Max Level is the Stuff thats not easy and it's costly. Or like you said i grind for Weeks doing Ixal Stuff. But until im there where i want to be other Players have already build up such a big Base that you have no Chance of getting a stable "income"

The thing that's scaring *me* isn't the materials requirements, but rather the gear.

Seriously need to overmeld *everything*? FC mate of mine just dumped *millions* into his set just in melds.

I ain't got that shit...

AND THIS. Is the normal Situation for normal PvE Players that are interested in Crafting. And you need the Melds if you want a 100% Chance to Craft the Gear in HQ.

This is the Point thats the most broken Point in XIV Crafting. This B*llsh*t "Chance"-System. If i learned how to build a Chair and have Master degree in building chairs then i dont have the friggin "chance" to build a good chair, i build a good chair every.single.*beeeep*ing.time.

I dont need to buy equipment for millions for building a *Beeeep* chair. This is simplfied yes but still valid.


Next answers t after a break im getting a bit....angry and dont want to write stuff while seeing red.
