Not sure what his point is even if it's possible though. "Crafting is fine because it's hard if you severely gimp yourself"? And I'm sure if they made Savage raids 10 times easier tomorrow that'd be fine because you could just equip terrible gear and take your job crystal off.

For the most part, I won't complain if they leave 1-80 one-star untouched (although it's a shame to see multiple crafter sets basically useless from 73-78), but 2 star is just silly now. If you skip Reuse you can craft them in cheap melds, no food or tea, 100% hq. Some items are 150k or below. You make better gil selling leve items and abusing Reuse than by making the "hardest crafts in the game". The only players this pleases are those who dislike crafting and thus can make gil without having to invest in it too much.
Thing is: crafting was always easy. The only "difficulty" part around crafting was over-melding due to the heavy RNG nature. Also, Savage already was "nerfed" at SB and is more accessible than ever. IGets easier over time too thanks to gear progression. People not doing savage is because they don't want to do it.

Anyway, as I pointed it out before, the "I want to be more difficult" is just a way of saying "I want fewer people doing it".
