I'm glad as well that we will be able to obtain points to be exchanged for red scrips mats via exploratory missions, but I suspect this won't change much, i.e. it will not really revitalize crafting and the economy as a whole, which right now is completely stagnant. It will however lay the foundations for a healthy economy after patch 3.2 is released since more crafters will be able to obtain their lvl170 gear and get ready for the new 3 star recipes. I'm assuming that it will still be hard and/or time and gil consuming to obtain those mats of course, so I expect the price of 2 star recipes to remain prohibitive for most players (even if prices are halved, they'll still be too high).
