whats funny is you can make money faster, and easier, without crafting if youd just farm items on your combat jobs
BUT, people supposedely dont want to do that cuz it can get boring and repetetive
then they expect crafting to be a new and exciting change from that?
you make money either way, and when your not doing something uber challenging of course it wont have that exciting edge to it, wether its farming low level mobs for money items, or sitting and crafting to turn cheap materials into less cheap materials, thus making a profit in both instances
