While I am inclined to agree somewhat, the devs went too far. There is not a single recipe that requires much thought. You don't even need VI materia at all. The new abilities are so powerful, I'm able to make things below level 70. This has severely depleted the market, and not just on Balmung. As per usual, the devs overshot. I will say crafting is in a better place now for adjustments than Heavensward, but there should be much harder crafts. Novel aside, Nixxe's point isn't inherently wrong. Too much accessibility diminishes the value each item has.
