Crafting is dead

[Snugglebutt]

Snuggle trolls all the craft threads supporting the system so no surprise here.

Ah, good old ad hominem...care to show how what I said was wrong instead?

Read what I said above again and here's a quote from yourself posted elsewhere. Hypocrite.

Are you for real?

Look man, here's the deal... This is an mmo.
Every single thing they do is to draw out the amount of time it takes to do, well everything, to the point of insanity..

Everyone is running around complaining about red scripts, why'd they do it, can't understand.

Lmao, their entire motivation behind every single function in this game is "how can we make this take longer?"

Easy to disproove:

there was people with 11/11 lucis on day 3
there was people with full artisan gear on day 1
there was people with 11/11 supra on day 4

So far its been 8 days and i only see ONE piece of equipment for under 50M on the MB (its the crafting ring, which is +2CP compared to the lvl 57 ones WOOOO) - for a total we have 3 rings 1 neck 1bsm body on the MB - the body is 77.7m the neck 50m one ring 10m the other 2 50m, go figure

And im not saying its not kind of a gate like in 2.x - but the gate itself is not the problem. The huge amount of time to get through it, the limited demand of items behind it - who is buying crafting equip just to make crafting equip? - and the time needed running around braindead, stupid and wasting playtime that could be used better elsewhere. For one single piece of equipment it would take me more playtime then i needed to get 2-3 of my old lucis tools. And for what? The bang for my buck is so horrible - so why even bother?
To craft more 2 star that i do not need because there is not even 2-star food and i will be able to buy the old i180 tools/equip cheap as soon as 3-star recipes are out?

Im fine with new stages in the crafting circle and never had to have supra/artisan/lucis at day one - but im not fine with investing around 100 hours of playtime (and 6-8 weeks) for equipment that will become obsolete once we get the next type of scrip currency and new recipes.
