Yoshi P / Dev Team: FAVOR System - Please Fix This BROKEN System

[Sibyll]

snip

The system isn't broken because Favors are too time consuming to gather or too gated by the scrip cap. It's broken because it removed tome crafting materials from the economy, which could be acquired by anyone with a DoW/DoM that could cap tomes, without offering a replacement that was as accessible. The Red Scrips require a level 60 DoL with Blue Scrip gear and a crafted HQ MH and OH to get the favor materials and a level 60 DoH to get the crafting materials. For someone that has no crafters/gatherers leveled (which believe it or not many players do not have a single max level DoH/DoL) this type of requirement is enough to deter them from participating.

The scrip system by itself isn't failing. The system just needlessly alienates non-crafters/non-gatherers from the economy completely.

Is this an adequate explanation for why the system is broken?
