How interestingly hypocritical.

I see raiders complaining about having to do something they don't want to do (craft) in order to get something they want (materia melding), and being upset when people are telling them that they're being lazy.

Isn't it the raiders who called casuals 'lazy' for wanting something (story) without having to do something they didn't want to do (raid)?

Turnabout is fair play.
