    Yeah but then there comes the problem of people who want to get it but don't want to level the blacksmith class. People likely will still have the price set up super high for buying them of of the auction house, So why not make the bags drop the Recipe for the Weapons, and the Materials. And have the recipe be a universal level. If that can't be done i do think they should re-work the crafting class progression so it's nicer to new players.

    No, this is NOT a problem - you want something: Go and earn it!

    I'm sorry this is going to be a minor rant from a mastercrafter who is SICK of people being all like "Oh, I want this, please, hand it to me already!"
    It doesnt matter that it doesnt hurt the progression of DoW/DoM - it hurts the progression of crafterclasses if anything is just handed out like candy that was supposed to give us some way of income. Those recipes are 3star-recipes, that means: Crafter-Endgame. You dont want to bother with crafting? Sure, but dont ask for the rewards/perks of it handed to you. I dont want to bother with the savage raids - should I be able to craft the mounts you get from the last tiers? No, ofc I shouldnt!
    I do understand what you mean - they're some pretty cool looking weapons, I used them myself for a while. After I crafted them. Myself. Because I bothered to level my crafters and thats my reward.

    Getting this items will be made easier in Stormblood (but honestly: getting the recipe and crafting such things as glamouritems isnt even difficult), til then: Leave it be what it is - an endgame-high-level item that crafters, who invested time and money can make a profit from. Yes, even if that costs you a fortune.
    Crafting progression seems totally fine to me btw - they made leveling crafters easier with the two beasttribes (ixal and moogle); you can work on getting your mastercrafter-books while leveling (with earning blue scrips) and you dont relay on crafted gear and heavy overmelds anymore. It has been made significantly easier for new players to get into crafting - taking away the carrot on the stick ("You can make this cool/expensive items!") isnt a great idea, sorry.

    People not getting something they want isnt the problem - people wanting something handed to them is.

    TLDR.: No, dont add them to gold sacks and ruin another market just because someone cant bother to level a crafter.
