Actually, I have to defend NanaWiloh... NanaWiloh isn't wrong here. I have met some crafters on my server before, and actually they were indeed after the gil the fame the notoriety (there are still some that ARE currently)! But now are they "hardcore crafters"? Yeah, I guess you can define them as hardcore crafters when you see their names frequently on over 10,000 items of the highest level recipes on the marketboard. They're really hardcore on PRODUCTION! Factory-mode! Now you can say, "well, high production does not necessarily mean after gil/fame, right?" ... You could be right. But I actually talked to one of them, and he/she actually admitted to me that he/she just wanted to dominate the marketboard, and wanna be the wealthiest of all... I thought that was rather shallow, so I have not talked to him/her much after.

You can surely call them hardcore crafters. But I think some others here may refer hardcore crafters as those who just likes to take on challenges and have fun. I am definitely one of those in the latter category.
