But in a game like FFXI you could get by without crafting fairly easily because the market was always saturated with gear of all levels. I hope that's what happens here, but it seems the crafters have no desire to synth the low level gear. I guess time will tell.
Buying into completely unverified paranoid conspiracy theories about direction influencing synth success is kind of your own problem, not the game having an issue.
