Please reevaluate the balance between crafted and U/U items.

Because they could skip the content and just purchase the best in slot item?

If they made a materia slotted weapon the best in slot when the Ifrit patch released I wouldn't even do the boss because there would be no point in getting his loot.

I guess that is a matter of player perspective and where you and I would differ. I play content because I enjoy it, not for loot.

As do I, I play to enjoy the content too. But c'mon, you can't say that getting upgrades/loot and progressing your character isn't enjoyable right? Obtaining new items plays a huge factor in my enjoyment w/ games.

Anyway, I'm fine with crafters making top-tier items as long as they're on par with the stuff you'd get from instances and/or primals. Do you agree or disagree with that, and if you still believe crafters should produce superior items (as opposed to equal) I'd like more explanation as to why.

Crafters must produce the best equipment. If they do not, nobody will want what they can offer and a crafter that has no reason to craft has no reason to exist as well. My opinion is as simple as that.

If they produced items that were equal to the best you could get from a raid boss they would still have a reason to produce those items. It would provide the community with an alternative to raiding. That ability to offer options will maintain the demand for crafters.
