I don't care about the leve gil nerf and I'm speaking as someone whose made over 10 million gil off of them. Why did I even bother getting into this and crafting in general? Because too many crafters were selling overpriced things on the marketboard from glamours to mounts to hairstyles and there was no way to keep up with how high the prices were skyrocketing.

I see some want to make crafting harder. Unfortunately I disagree. I think crafting and its barriers to entry should be lowered further so that the playerbase can become more self-sufficient as a whole. It is one thing to level your crafters to max if you were starting at 70 at the beginning of the expansion. It was an entirely different story for those of us who had to start from 0.

Job quests requiring rare and obscure materials, early HQ being ridiculously expensive on the marketboard, and the general bore of the grind is a good way to turn people off from the system altogether especially when they'd rather be doing battle content instead. I don't foresee myself having gil issues in the future now that I too am an omni crafter and once I've levelled everything to 90, I can just make whatever glamours and gear I want without having to deal with overpricing and scamming.
