Oh, come on now! You started this thread with "I just want to know how other crafters feel" and now when other crafters step forward, you accuse them of not knowing their stuff because they are "Zelkova Crafters"? Did it occur to you that maybe not all just agree to you? Don't ask for an opinion if you blame People to not know what they are talking about just because they don't agree with you.

I get you. I truly do. I focus mainly on crafting and selling stuff on the MB. And it hit me as well that the prizes for the new crafted gear dropped so fast and even the prizes for the mats from the maps. I really do hoped that they would at least stay somewhere above 2m for some time (planned with 5m to be honest - at least for the first week). But it didn't. Even if it is annoying that I'm not making that big of a profit as I used to be and that I need to adjust or "step up my game" I still think that the cross-server MB is a blessing. I can buy out the mats for the new glamour cheap and the glamour itself still sells for a good enough profit on my server. And I'm on Spriggan. There isn't much of a economy on Spriggan.

I care about gil. I care a looot about gil. But things have changed and we need to adjust. We just can't rely on our experience of the past anymore but have to take a closer look at the MB again to see where the wins and loses lies.
