Why refusing customization is a fallacy

[Gilthas]

It's a better argument as "We can't do it because the game needs to keep its balance". At least my argument is not a blatant lie...
I hope you'll advocate for never adding another new job too, since any new jobs will either de ignored because it's the absolute best, or ended up discriminating an existing job because it's better in every way...

Apples and Oranges. I'd rather SE work into adding new jobs and keeping them balanced than work on trying to juggle the balance of several specs on each job.

Yeah, I'm sure...pretty much the same people complaing about how higher crafting recipes "promotes" gil buying instead of actually spending time playing and leveling crafters to earn the stuff...

This isn't apples and oranges. These are things that aren't even comparable.

But I will talk about crafting. Gathering and Crafting at the moment is complete and utter tripe.

Instead of being a relaxing and entertaining side-activity to support your battle classes, it's become a grindy activity only for hardcore crafters and gatherers. I already have a job, when I log in to FFXIV I want to have fun, not have a second job.

And yes, this inflated economy and all the obstacles that prevent players from being self-sufficient do indeed promote gilbuying.
