Square Enix, please think about both Casual AND Hardcore crafters..

the new two star recipes require a bit of work, no single button macros here.

With HQ mats, they are pretty easy to do with the makers mark cheat skill.

The 2 star crafts are very easy. The quality bonus from HQ mats is insane and HQ'ing Alkahest's can be done without food or syrup as an Alc specialist.

You don't have a "crafting rotation to get right" as long as you can look it up on the web and macro it. What you describe is not challenging at all. Merely time intense.

BORING!

That's your understanding of crafting.

I make those type of macros. If I do see something on the web, I'll look at how I can tailor it to my stats, run on cheaper melds, cheaper foods. I rather enjoy the theorycraft side of crafting and the fine tuning. Just because you find something boring doesn't mean we all do.

They can be done already with Full NQ, lol XD I use one with Reuse for spec and a 22 step without for non Spec.

[Joven]

Oh yes... that's always a moment in which you just want to bite down on your keyboard.

wich is your macro's spc/no spc?

I never stated otherwise, if you had actually bothered to read my posts and not be triggered by the first line or seeing my avatar, you would have read (multiple times by now) that I agree with you on the fact that the current crafting process is too uninvolved.

I'm merely arguing that more grind through harsher gear requirement is not a valid way to fix that because once you get your gear grinded you would, yet again, end up in a braindead macro-able and boring crafting system. It would merely take more time to get there and that [more time] would lead to the exclusivity you apparently seem to want.

BTW: I didn't ask SE to make crafting easier. I didn't ask SE to lessen the grind. Back in ARR I accepted that this aspect of the game was not my cup of tea.
But they did it anyway and now I am enjoying being self sufficent.
YOU want to take that away from me. YOU are the selfish one here. Not me. I merely take what SE offers me and tell them "I like this one better than the old one!".

Nobody's triggered. You just have bad ideas that will hurt the game and don't care because you're selfish.

How are their ideas going to "hurt the game"? As far as I can tell they're just saying crafting is, for the most part, fine the way it is and doesn't need to be changed.

You all knew coming into this game that it was intended to cater to as many people as possible, so they're going to make it as accessible as possible to as many people as possible because money.
