    Asking Yoshida to address crafting’s absurd easy difficulty...Live Letter?

    Does anyone know when the next Live Letter occurs? I believe those of us who would like challenging crafting (and challenging rewards for the crafting, such as good gear) should be paid attention to now. As we have been neglected for the entirety of 4.0. And now 5.0 too apparently.

    ISHGARD RESTORATION 5.1
    The Ishgard stuff does not look promising, so we are not going to put our faith in something like that. And even if the recipes are challenging, the rewards are useless. We were told they are “Titles” and some sort of glamour tools. Both of which are useless to a crafter’s arsenal. Rewards should be high stat, exclusive, rewarding gear/tools. It’s a good way to reward players who actually spent the time and effort to grind difficult recipes. By giving us titles and glamour tools, you aren’t giving people a very good incentive to compete. Not everyone is interested in a new housing plot. Just challenging and rewarding content.

    I’ve already made a thread addressing why crafting is too easy and why it needs to be changed, so I won’t discuss that here. My question is, the next live letter....when is it?

    I would love to know Yoshida’s reasoning for completely deviating from what crafting was intended to be back in ARR and HW. And if he ever plans on catering to hardcore/hard working crafters ever again, that’s great. But be sure to cater to both casual and hardcore players at once.

    Prioritizing one over the other is my main issue with these last 2.5 years of FFXIV. Both types players play FFXIV, we shouldn’t demonize one because they prefer challenging content.
