All that changed is that you now get an average of 140 favor items in 4 hours a week compared to 11 hours. The fundamental issue is still here. Crafters can only make a maximum of two 2 star items a week after doing 4 hours of favors and getting capped on scrips for both Crafters and Gatherers.

If this is the future of crafting, then it's looking very gloomy. It doesn't especially help that there are no useful items to be crafted either.

Only i180 gear should require red scrips, nothing else! Everything else should be uncapped and bought with blue scrips.

Fix this awful system, Square. We've been patient enough.
