new crafted gear useless for raid and so is materia V?

[Ranzan]

I never understood where this huge pay wall is at for leveling a craft. There is too many ways to level up a craft that doesn't involve a whole lot of gil. If that was the case ppl the say that are accusing pimped out crafter of gil buying. :/ omni crafters started just as poor as anyone.

@Mikedizzy Since when has crafters ever controlled this game? Been here since beta and never seen that at all... ppl are delusional these days
