Stormblood Crafting System

You're arguing against points not made....where did i say one fosters an economy and the other one doesn't? You copied my post then misquote me........

I said interdependence does more than independence for market activity. Price points have everything to do with supply and demand....very little to do with whether everyone is omni independent or interdependent. But actual market activity has more to do with competitive advantage(like you mentioned) AND absolute advantage (aka specialist recipes). And not being able to craft everything (without swapping crystals) drives ppl to interact more with the MB (whether to sell or buy) THAN being self sufficient would....

This was never a discussion about prices.

Lastly the anagloy was sufficient. It's just that you presuppose crafting should be a solo quest and I presuppose crafting should be a dungeon run....so all kinds of analogies can fit either pressuppostion.

The analogy was not sufficient, as Camie said above. Compare apples to apples. You have to party up for trials and dungeons. You have to party up for the FC workshop. You do not have to party up for crafting anything in your Crafting Log.

And no, you did not say that "interdependence does more than independence for market activity". You said "interdependence fosters an economy". That statement left a very obvious implication - that independence does not foster an economy.

The economy is all about getting Gil to move. Supply, demand, pricing, those all have huge impact on, and are impacted by, the overall economy. And those factors could very well be the ones that drive someone to be a single crafter, or an omnicrafter, or something in between.

Camie addressed everything else rather well, I'm not going to try to repeat what has already been said.
