Specialist Recipees: Why do the developers keep listening to bad requests?

[FoxyAreku]

No they won't so far that's proven completely untrue. Compare Thav Glamour to Draconic potion of mind. If you only get 9 recipes and most of them are completely useless and another craft gets 34 which range from being upgrades to other crafts, upgrades for battle classes, and one of the most expensive Glamour options out there. It will be increadilbly obvious what is the right specialization to take.



Monopolies don't do that. They concentrate money in a smaller area thus decreasing the flow over all. And stuff only a small portion can do creates a monopoly.

Um? Am I the only way who saw your comparison as in favor of the alchemist?

Potions are more profitable than glamour items by default because raiders have to keep buying them.

It'll take balancing of course and culinarian and alchemy will always have an edge over other crafts simply because of the nature of those items and how they go hand in hand in raiding, but you'll be able to make money with glamour items and gear for gatherers as well, so you'll have profit no matter what you pick.

I see you believe you are on WoW. Well welcome to Final Fantasy 14. Potions last ten seconds so are practically useless. People don't buy food for raids. Very few people do serious raid content so even if they did buy food for raids it wouldn't match the simple fact of glamour value. More people buy housing stuff than potions and as we know "NO one has a house!"

Yeah okay we're done talking, you clearly don't know a thing about this.

I guess those stacks of raid food and potions I make millions of gil a day off of were just a part of my crazy imagination, and the thavnairian bustier I sold after it sat on my retainer for a week while the food and potions sold faster than hotcakes was also part of my imagination. I'm so silly. XD

Maybe you being on the unofficial RP server scews your economy just a tad, but on a server like mine where nearly everyone tries to raid this stuff is super profitable. You even need food to craft properly! How can you say this isn't protitable?

Like, you just saying potions are useless and no one buys food for raids just outs you as a bad raid player right there, I'm sorry lol.

Nope, they were most certainly real. But you aren't a real crafter. Or a true Scotsman, for that matter.
