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

As I said in my previous posts, he knows this. He is trying to make a fool out of me, or, how kids say it these days, “expose” me by making outrageous claims, and then proceeding to challenge me by fulfilling his claims. Really old trick in the book, but I’m not going to entertain it. And on top of that, doesn’t provide a picture of his alleged rotation, which he should have done at the start if he wanted to prove me wrong and impress everyone.

Anyways, any further redundant comments he makes about the situation will just be ignored unless he posts the rotation himself (with stats, food, etc) and proves me wrong. This is supposed to be about FFXIV crafting being too easy since the addition of Prudent Touch, not a “i disagree with you so imma clown you cuhz” session lol

I’m not going to post the rotation because then you’re just going to follow it.

My point is that I think you actually like easy crafting even though you don’t admit it. I think if crafting were actually hard you would be complaining. You certainly don’t want to try my challenge for whatever reason. If you did actually try to do the challenge you would learn something about some of those points you keep blowing off that a dozens of people have been telling you.

Myself, I like the easy crafting. It feels like a reward for me after grinding the crafting classes. It also feels like a reward after painstakingly figuring out rotations on my own without looking at what other people do.

Since you won’t take the challenge, the only thing I can do is ask you outright.

Did you follow someone else’s rotation for crafts so you could be a “competitive lv 80 crafter?”

1. You need to read my posts again. You clearly did not since you are making outrageous claims about someone who advocates equality for both audiences.

2. All you are doing is making yourself look like the provocateur, randomly challenging someone then not even posting proof that what you have in mind even works.

3. During 2.0 I had help. 3.0 - now, it was all me working on my own rotations because I didn’t really trust people.

4. Since you are repeatedly bringing up this redundant fiasco, I must ask you outright. Are you actually trying to join the discussion, or are you just trying to start problems? Put your money where your mouth is and post your alleged rotation with food, stats, etc. Then, offer me another challenge. I’d be glad to do it once I see the validity of your claim. Otherwise, you come off as confrontational and you clearly have no intention of discussing this, just trying to start stuff.

If you keep bringing this up without posting your magical rotation, I’m just going to ignore it. I support balanced crafting, not easy crafting.

The rotation doesn't matter anyway. No matter how hard the rotation is, it's a problem with a static and attainable solution, so if you throw a massive number of people at it, it will be found and disseminated in pretty short order. The internet is basically made for doing exactly that. Even if you personally gimp yourself, it doesn't even begin to address the actual problems that "easy" crafting creates, which is that it undermines the actual value of crafting. Since he plainly doesn't understand that, it's not really worth talking to him. Whatever his actual intent, he's simply going to waste your time.
