Bizarre burnout

[VelKallor]

Your leveling of crafters in the past has nothing to do with how a new player might feel now

Did it at least 4 times, pre and post, from scratch , so yes I do know.

The demographic of new MMO players is different now than it was back then.

..mate, Im almost 61, and have been gaming since the 90's. I know more than you realise.

People are far quicker to give up on things that frustrate them nowadays then they were before

Thats a them problem. If you throw the towel in when things get a little difficult, thats not the games fault.

Crafting takes patience.

A functional system =/= one that's automatically fun or not annoying to deal with.

.....yeah..not true at all.

. And my point about not being able to purchase individual items is about the MARKET BOARD player listings, not NPC vendors. You can't buy 1 ingot from a PLAYER's stack of 99 that they have listed.

You can craft them at level 15 which is hardly a major problem. ARM and BSM both at the same craft hall in Limsa.

There are comprehensive online guides, there is the NN, there are mentors, they have plenty of help.

i dont see an issue here.
