i think DardGhalawad has some great points, and that TheVedis needs to get of there high horse.

I'll mass make shards when I watch the news, Conan, The Tonight Show, Colbert. I don't even pay attention to the game and for the most part don't even look at my screen. So by TheVedis thoughts if a GM goes to talk to me and I miss the text in the chat window, I should get banned and not care since I don't care about the game.... Again get off your high horse, I like the game I play with others. Just because I hate the fact that crafting is boring as hell and I don't pay attention while doing it, Doesn't mean I should get banned if I don't reply to someone. (Hell I have Conan on one screen, I'm pressing the "A" button on my controller non-stop with the game on another screen, and I'm typing this with my other hand, on my other system. And you think I'm watching the screen with FF on it?)

Crafting for hours isn't content and it does needs to be fixed.

When I'm trying to level up my crafting skills since it's "OH, so FUN", I make sure I have the mats I need to make something a few hundred times, I make the first one, and then I keep hitting the "A" button on my controller to make the rest and then I watch something on my other screen/tv so I'm not board as hell.

I didn't even know getting a controller with "Auto Fire" was an option, until I came across this on the forms!

One thing I find funny is that the official Black controller ( http://www.japantrendshop.com/elecom...ad-p-1265.html ) has an auto button. I did do some digging and it does make any of the buttons go on auto. So hit it once and it'll spam that button, press it again and it'll stop. So if this isn't allowed Square Enix REALLY needs to get there act together for allowing a company to make an Official controller that breaks the rules.
