Which in turn will cause others to pursue the same path. Mainly because some people like me do not see the need to rely on others to enhance our stats.
This is an MMORPG, which is called "Massively Multiplayer Online Role PLaying Game" for a reason. You are EXPECTED to interact with other players. Players are expected to help each other.

And I leveled ALL eight of the crafting classes, which is not an easy feat. You can't just level one crafting class to be able to meld. For example, leveling blacksmithing will not allow you to meld materias to slots like rings, because you need to be goldsmithing.

You can call me entitled all you want, but I worked hard leveling all of my crafts, and it annoyed me how there's little dependency on crafters. For ONCE we get something that requires players to depend on us, and all they do is to complain about not being able to do it themselves.

Just shout and ask for help, there are a LOT of crafters out there that would be more than happy to do it for you.

Or level crafts. Which allows you to do exactly as you asked.
