Consumables by Crafters

1.0 did throw items.
I don't think the new dev team really wanted to keep that. It's akin to buying arrows on archer, which was also a thing.

You end up with classes being more expensive to play.

I miss Chakrams for PGL/MNK
Every class get a ranged skill as a replacement for the throw items, except PGL/MNK

They removed consumable ammunition from archer as an excuse to nerf it to oblivion and make it a support class.

They also went from cast-time hard hitting shots, where "animation lock death" was a fair exchange to how powerful archer was(1.0) to legolas minigun arrow launcher(2.0) back to cast-time shots that hit like peas(3.0).

Wow. i feel bad for arc/brds they have gone through the most changes and are still nothing compared to what they were in their original 1.0 design.
