Please don't gate scrips behind folklore gathering items in 3.2.

[Mindy_Macready]

I find it insanely stupid that my choices in spending red scrips is either spending 1-3-weeks worth of red scrips for gear that I can't dye or meld, or having to level a gatherer to the point of having folklore nodes unlocked (or spending massive amounts of gil) for crafting mats. It would be like gating Esoteric gear behind crafted tokens, which of course is a terrible idea [I know SE likes its time gates, but please don't actually implement that].

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing the scrip system in general just die. It makes crafting a tedious chore every week, and doesn't even help new players, which it was apparently designed to do.

crafting scripts take me no more than 15 minutes a week...

Even though they could of done a lot better with the script system...any game you play is going to have a grind in order to get the top-tier sets, raiding or crafting. After patch 3.1 getting the top-tier i170HQ sets are an absolute joke to the point where I can make upwards of two FULL sets a week, with minimum time into them.

If you know what you are doing (aka level up fishing) - you can get all your folklore nodes unlocked in 4-5 hours.

15 minutes a week...for 1-3 weeks. And the red scrip system was supposed to make it easier to gear up, but it isn't easier if you also need to level a gatherer to 60 + folklore.

But you don't need to... red scrip gear is overkill for any current content, you can access all nodes with lvl 60 white gear.

And anyways, it isn't gated. Row 2 and 3 of red scrips for gathering are items that do not require folklore.

Crafting mats are gated behind ooids (unless you run the diadem now, but that doesn't use the red scrips people have farmed for; currently there's no way to buy crafting mats with red scrips that doesn't use ooids, and that seems stupid because it's a crafting token).

'gated' implies its the only way. You already provided one alternate option, another is via spamming dungeons for Law.

So, no. Not gated. That is simply the most efficient path, and you must work a bit harder to get access to it. Like everything else, more work = more reward.

You're complaining about 1-3 weeks? It takes way longer then that to gear up a battle class using esoterics.

It was gated when it was released.

[keyburz]

It was gated when it was released.

And not anymore. But you claimed its still gated, which it is not.

[Duuude007]

And the practically identical "_____keep" gear was not gated behind ooids.
