good luck to all players without 50 dow, craft, and 10 mil gil.

never said YOU should craft. Pay for mats and get your item crafted. End QQ
This severe gimp in equip outlevel it's a very positive change, since you should't wear equip out of your level

OP - don't be so bloody dramatic.

The end.

They streamlined crafting and gathering. So you can get started whenever you like. I have never depended on the market wards to hold what I need. To date I have not sold a single thing in the market wards and have made far more than 10 mil. How? I learned to do it myself. If you do not have the patience to wait for the things you want to start appearing in the market wards then you will have to learn how to make them appear yourself. If not then you will, not just now but ALWAYS, be at the mercy of crafters/gatherers. Give a person a fish and they will eat for the day. Teach a person to fish and they will eat for a lifetime.

As far as the patch. I was not pleased either at the changes they made to gear or to my stats as a mage class but I will make the adjustment the same way I did in the previous patch with MP management. Leveling lower classes I will manage with as well just like I have every other time. Standing up straight requires a spine...give yourself a couple of weeks to grow one and you will be fine. This patch was not designed to pave an easier road for those who left. It was designed to make more sense of what was already here. Learn the new way and then pass judgement.

sitting in one spot for 60 hours to get a craft to 50 just to participate in the economy is hardly "playing the game"

Um...yeah, that in fact is exactly what it playing the game is.

And you don't have to craft to participate in the economy. You could be a gathering class. You could even do what I do and just sell crystals. I have hardly any levels put into crafting, and I get by on money from leves and selling crystals.

And how could you tell me that's "not the point"? Your OP has no point. It doesn't even have a complete sentence.

Oh Fixy complaining about a million things already? What a surprise.

mhmm~ lol .

this could easilly have been accomplished by upgrading the current items and at least giving a fair warning before this drastic change to gear happened. this has done nothing but make it near impossible for new players to play, A HUGE MISTAKE on SE.

What would you of done? Crafted a new set before the patch?

We had a fair warning. Several in fact. The first was many months ago when a majority of the people who participated in the first player's poll agreed to support changes that would "drastically alter the rules" in Eorzea.

We had more fair warning several days before the patch.

And this doesn't do anything to new players. They won't be wearing any dated gear.
