So the biggest thing that gets me having taken a look at the red scrip turn-ins, is that this is either going to be expensive, or I am going to have to beg friends for mats. I am a casual player, I have maybe enough time to do a few crafts at lunch, get my roulettes done, and then if I am not doing anything in the evening a few more crafts/hunts. I do not have a gatherer at 60 so I cannot collect the mats necessary to craft the red scrips. On Cactuar it will cost me 1-2million a week to cap on red scrips. This does not feel casual. This feels over bearing and it saddens me because I feel like I can't enjoy the content unless I am hardcore. I am cool with it taking me 8 weeks to get all my items, for one craft, thats cool. But its gonna cost me 16 million unless I get my gathering classes up.

Esoterics simply take being a DoW/DoM to cap. Gatherer's Red Scrips simply take being a DoL to cap. Crafter's Red Scrips take Being a DoL/DoW/DoM/DoH to cap, and that just feels overwhelming. I am trying to be rational but unless I am missing something I do not see how this works for a casual crafter.
