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

[Liam_Harper]

It's heartwarming to know that at least the majority of the game's player base is enjoying this change.

Are they?

Are they having lots of fun buying leve kits to skip to 80 on a class they hate, equipping cheap gear and popping a macro they copy-pasted and have no clue how it works, so they can churn out worthless gear over and over to stuff on the mb for pennies and compete with the thousands of others doing the same thing? Because people have a strange idea of fun if that's the case.

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".

People don't ask for difficult content to exclude others. They'd be happy seeing lots of others trying that difficult content with them. They just want something engaging.

It's like those "you just want the market to yourself so you can charge high prices" comments. I personally couldn't care less how many are on the market or which market. I'm not fussed. I'm making more gil than ever from Reuse while the new generation of endgame crafters are trying to squeeze next to nothing from Facet gear.

Easy endgame crafting hurts the casual crafter more than the big rich crafters everyone seems to dislike. Everything is worthless unless you have good market knowledge. Heck, you could sell white Gazelle and Twinsilk sets in SB for more than Facet is worth now.

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

Why not? You "won", we couldn't do it. Post your magic macro to prove it and seal that victory.
