But w/e i can care less i'll just level up the craft and make the gear myself and my gf would do the other set of craft and we don't have to buy anything i guess lol. Seem like more work on a player i feel sorry for casual but then again they don't care what they wear so that not much of a issue.


Again the crafting argument is pretty weak. The current state of the obnoxious requirements for crafting gear is a bigger part of the reason a lot of gear isn't being crafted.

Tweak the optimal rank system to have a higher penalty for out of rank and a greater bonus for on or above rank and you create the same kind of demand a rank requirement system does. People need the appropriate rank gear because it is a detriment to not wear it. Add this in with materia and simplified crafting and you'll have people making gear for all ranks on the market.

With low/mid rank gear being much cheaper to make after the changes I suspect more people will make it.

Also if you have trouble finding gear, joining a Linkshell does wonders. In mine at least we have people who love crafting that are more than happy to help others get the gear they need.
