Future Endgame gear vs crafted gear with Materia.

No, its Raiders Fantasy XIV.

Oh, wait...

Why shouldn't crafting jobs be as legitimate as other jobs?

I'm not surprised games get a bad reputation. Some people just aren't happy unless they're killing things.

This is the equivalent of you only being able to get materia out of raids
Do you understand now why they are upset?

But that isn't the case at all. As several people have already stated (such as this post), getting the best out of your gear requires you to use equipment for a range of places, from crafted, raids, NMs and Grand Company rewards.

Indeed, the point of making crafting/gathering professions into their own classes was to give them a legitimacy that no other MMO never had done (and yes, it's been a hard implementation on the devs' part, but it doesn't help that Yoshi had nearly trashed the idea).

Absolutly agree, I currently feel there is a nice balance of melded gear vs. dungeon/gc gear. I like the current system now, and hope they continue going down this path. The amount of money and luck needed to out-stat some of those pieces is not even worth it, and most people wont even try.

Have you ever played a Final Fantasy? I'm surprised for how much people like to compare stuff to the series in this game they don't realize that Final Fantasy isn't about crafting.
