I got all my crafters to level 70 back in stormblood. I did that grind. Doesn't mean I hate the fast exp gain now. I'm not one of those people who hates things being made easier even when I did it the hard way.

As has been said, crafting was never really hard when macros would be used for everything anyway. I've written my own macros to craft with even, many times now. You people are just mad that you won't be able to make tons of gil as easy since there will be a lot more items on the market. Gil that is useless anyway.
