3.2 patch is a slap in the face of (omni)crafters (specialist & stat garbage)

[Granyala]

Can we just get to the acceptance stage of grief about specialists at some point soon? There's plenty of people, myself included, that actively like the specialist system there's no way it's going away.

Well, to be fair: it would have been nice of SE to add some kind of warning that the Master IV books are specialist recipes. I can understand people being annoyed if they bought books they can't use now.

Yeah that's fair.

This is end game for crafters. I like the changes in 3.2. The OP sounds very whiny

What changes.. more like small add on to crafting gear not NEW TIER OF CRAFTING GEAR like the 4 new tiers of pve gear and new tier of pvp gear..

Wow this patch did exactly what Se wanted to do with the specialist system...who would have thought.

What's that, annoyed (or pissed off) far more people than they pleased with it?

Vocal minorities etc. Unless you think you can back that (implied) statement up. Every single one of these threads ends up with more replies of people liking/satisfied with the system than those against.

It's not an FF14 patch without upsetting half your player base.

That's an exaggeration. Most people seem to not be upset. But people who are upset are more likely to post (in the hope of getting something they do not like changed I imagine) than people who are OK but not thrilled with it.

For my wife and I, it's just a new challenge and a new opportunity. Gotta raise money (gathering the new mats) to finish out the long-delayed overmelding of our crafting gear, and gear up our new alts. Then we'll craft some 3-star stuff for our DoM/DoW classes and anyone in our FC who needs it, and see how it goes.

But before we do that we want to do the new Hildy quests. LOL

Because we had no expectations, we inherently have no disappointment. YMMV
