"A: Really? This is another one of those “I totally understand your sentiment…” (laughs) In the Anima weapon content, introducing the part about using a crafted item, there was a lot of backlash against that. Of course I’m sure there are DoH/DoL that want to be helpful to others, but if we make it so it’s required to have certain items that only a crafter or gatherer can create or make it advantageous in battle to have those items, now we’ll have the battle classes get angry about it “why do i have to farm gil to pay these crafters and gatherers?” so it’s a very difficult balance to strike. We would love to try it of course… but in baby steps. Sometimes people are very contradictory to one another, but again, I understand the sentiment."

Understood the sentiment? Didn't even understand the question.... @yoshi look up ffxi synergy system. Crafters and gatherers want content where they have to work together to achieve something that's all, they don't necessarily want to mingle with DoW/M.
