For those who don`t get the problem with red scrips...

[Yukiko]

I begin to consider making profit when changing server, buy it there and sell it on an other server...

[Alexander_Dragonfang]

Most crafters in one of my crafting linkshells have decided to plainly stop their progression. Nothing to strive for on this patch, red scrip gear is not worth it. Not worth the cheapest turn in or the deepest gil sink in materials for the crafted version.

If 30ish crafters on a server can be of any measure, thank you square enix, you made lots of people to just "quit" at their favorite activity on the game. Grind and time sinks can only be pushed so far before players which even love said activity start to abandon it.

I hope red scrip gear is desynthable

Everyone gets the problem except trolls.
What amazes me is that you think that somehow this was a mistake, like somehow the devs thought it'd be fun but messed up.

I've said this before and it is worth repeating, every single action and moment in this game is motivate by "how can we make this piece of content take far, far, far more time to complete than it should?"

That's why you do everything in this "game" 50' 200' 1,000x

They don't want you to finish, ever, until their next ff mmo is released.
The devs don't ever want you to leave, and they don't ever want you to finish.
Their entire job is to draw out the content in this game to the brink of making you quit, but don't.

That's really all they have done since day 1.
Welcome to mmo's, if you like that, cool.
But please, understand that this is not a mistake. This is exactly what they want, they want you gathering, collecting, grinding, crafting, raiding endlessly until they shut the servers off.

Most people know what's going on, and they don't care. They are just here to mindlessly waste their time with each other. It really doesn't matter how ridiculous or painfully drawn out it gets, cause this isn't a game in any traditional sense. Mmo's are a place for people to check out of their life. They are a device to trick yourself into feeling accomplishment. Not saying people who stay here are losers, but we all do lose a great deal of time being here.

Read about it.

Anyway, scripts aren't a mistake, they aren't any worse than supra was, it's just more of the same

I had my gathering scrips done in 2 nights and my crafting scrips done in about an hour. Was easy and not to worried about getting the items from them since they really aren't needed for anything right now anyways.

I play this game to have fun, not work.

This is someone's idea of fun, sadly.

Am I the only one who thinks it's not that bad?

I capped purely from weaver. WEAVER. Farming chimera manes and deepeye tears for a few hours sucked, as well as wasting ventures for materials, but I still capped before the reset.

I suspect once my culinarian is 60 and has the master book it'll be way easier to cap. I feel the whole 'favor' system for gatherers that you have to do to get these scrip materials is a much better use of my time to complain about.

[Lewtz]

No fix for you! Please look forward to it " Yoshi"

Dare I ask, how did you get the other materials? Things like Hallowed Water and dissolvents don't exactly craft themselves, and you can't send retainers out on ventures to get them either. That means you probably spent gil to buy them or crafted them yourself, meaning you didn't purely cap on weaver alone.

At high level, there's almost no craft that doesn't require the use of at least one of the other crafts. And right now, market prices are quite high so it would exclude all but the very wealthy to try and buy every material needed. Add to that the need for specialized items in some of the recipes, and you can see why so many people are upset.
