    I actually think these two changes to dyes and glamours are going to kill the market for them. One thing that makes them somewhat stable on the mb (for my server at least) is that fact it's not a quick synth. Not going to boycott the change or anything I just feel it hurts the economy more than helping it.

    ... because an economy where it costs an upwards of 10m gil for a weapon people buy for aesthetics isn't already a big mess, right?

    Dyes are already a one-step synthesis anyway, so Quick Synth won't actually make it any faster, just have a few less keypresses involved. With no HQ available there's no need for touch steps, and the synth difficulty is only 51. Even without quick synth, you could make a whole stack in a couple minutes, and that's far more than would actually sell on the MB anyway. I doubt just being able to do it with fewer keypresses would make any real change in how many dyes people make. Gathering the pigments and crystals is the most time consuming part of making them.

    If it's stable on the MB it's because most of your server's crafters have figured out how many they can make and have them actually sell rather than sit there unsold for months. (Occasionally, a new crafter might come along and try it and you'll have a glut for a while, but eventually they'll back out of the market or scale back to more appropriate volumes better matching your server's demand.)

    Um... really? Dyes are rock bottom on my server at least, so this change isn't going to do anything. I honestly don't think quick synth is to blame here. It's not THAT much slower to synth them all manually, it's just annoying as you have to keep clicking on the synthesis button.

    Lol this here.. the annoyance is what's tipping the scale. I'm not saying it's not super easy to spam them now and of course material collection can be accounted for.

    It's like the subtle annoyance is good for the game in my odd view perhaps... not a serious issue. QoL should always be appreciated.
