The current crafting requirements on several things is ineffective and plain retarded, I am for the changes 100% because it will mean I will actually start crafting more. There has been so many times where I wanted to make something I wanted yet I couldn't find anyone to make the parts I needed, couldn't find the materials via crappy ward system, and I couldn't farm some to the amount I needed in a fair amount of time. For the same reason they are getting rid of the parts is because it is nothing but a waste of space for the players and in the wards because no one buys that crap or ever even has it up for sale. You still have the same crafting system which makes the game unique and adds immersion in it's own way, FFXI you just sat there and watched your character do all the work and crossed your figures and pray the retarded animation of your crystal didn't explode in your face so you could say goodbye to all your items. Atleast with this system you have an idea if you know you are going to lose something and with certain abilities you have the option to succeed in the synth.

So I don't see how in any way, shape or form that it is dumbing the system down when it taking away the useless parts and making it more effective and efficient for everyone.
