Crafting is dead

[chidarake]

Your lucky to have got mats to make 1 item a week! lol

I have had 450 red crafter scrips since 30 mins after the patch and not managed to get enough of the favor items to get any mats...

I don't gather and people will likely say "haha hard luck lvl gathers newb", but I am a crafter, I have no wish to gather.

ive seen you on this forum posting so many times over the last year sharing knowledge and helping people, you've been a major crafter and yet you of all people and people like yourself cant even get 1 piece of gear because of this new system says something doesn't it.?

as surely the most dedicated crafters in this game should be able to gear up. gated is fine heck getting field 3's way back when was a major chore, but atleast that fell onto us to be willing to spend our time to grind those things out. as did all previous crafting progression steps.

this current system breaks what has made crafting fun and sometimes frustrating in this game.

I myself spent 3-4 days to max my crafters and gatherers so I would be in a good place for when new stuff came out. I held back on melds for the chimerical set to see what would be needed so I could meet the stat req's to make the new gear, then I see that it means nothing because we are all gated behind bs weekly lock out that relies so heavily on gatherer and crafter classes supplies at a time when the majority of people playing the game have not even bothered to level one of these classes.

surely someone in the dev team must of said to Yoshi that this system is broken in so many ways, are you really sure you want to piss of the crafter / gatherer player-base.??

the problem with the current bis set is not that there is nothing to make with it to recoup costs as that chance will come im sure, its just that when that chance comes the things you can make will be so over priced to the point that only a very small % of people could potentially afford it. especially given the amount of mats that will be needed, like 10 dusk leathers or some such nonsense.

things already have very inflated prices, like chimera manes selling for 5k a pop nq and that's the cheaper price now. heck even deep eye tears are still selling for 6k a pop nq and mogpoms at 8knq. screw crafting im gathering for gil and not taking part in this stupid ass grind. and in the case of something like mogpoms theres no rng as you always get a mogpom from that fishing hole.
