Forcing everyone to craft, Is it good direction for FFXIV?

It really seems like you are overly hostile Thevedis... which seems to be a very common thing I see coming from you. She isn't saying she doesn't want to interact with people. That's completely beside the point.

I have a feeling that being repaired by a PC will give a longer lasting repair than the NPC's "unlike the 75% they are now"

NPC repair: 100%

PC Repair: 150%? or something silly to that extent.

im not hostile, just giving people facts, especialy when they seem to post random nonsense complaining about everything

its an mmo, dont like to deal with other people? why are you playing an mmo! get the point

however, Yoshi-P heard my voices

In the words of a famous mi'qote: "Why does THAT not surprise me."

once again proof you dont know what you are talking about

gear doesnt cost 5k, try more like 50k-5mil each
so 5k for a repair is not making you pay the cost again

.......................

sorry it was example. not using actual prices...... no need for you to be rude as well.

I have a hard time putting what i want to say in words. It upsetting and very frustrating to deal with. I have to type stuff out very quicky or lose my train of though. Thats how my ADD effects me. I also never had the best grammar and had had to have a few aides to help me with it. Which as you can tell never really helped. Its just something I can't graspe no matter how hard I try.

again those prices are not real. Just used as an example. There is no need to take those numbers seriously and point out that I don;t play the game.

I repeatedly told ppl its not like I have a choice in not being able to play.

stop taking posts ultra seriously.

Except that this topic is a fairly common problem across many of the regions. I know many such people who felt compelled to craft just for the same reasons. It's not about not wanting to find people or socialize or anything like that. How about you stop trying to "just give people facts" and try to understand why they think the way they do. That's the easiest and most effective way to debate a topic. Not just say, "thats the way it is... deal with it". Not every plays games like this for the same reason and under the same circumstances

the difference bnetween some other threads and this one
the OP specificaly has stated they are anti social
that they dont want to have to go to anyone for repairs
that they are willing to pay for repairs from the npc

they are basicaly stating they want to play the game solo(also, i have delat with op in game, they really are extremely anti social)

i can understand the older complaints about this when players didnt have all the repair options they do now, but complaining about it as if we were still at launch is what this is coming down to

there are no shortage of crafters to repair things
there is no shortage of gil to spend to get repairs

if you cant understand that, then where have you been?

And eva is pretty much acting like they don't talk to other people most of her posts consist of 2 senteces. One being someting against WoW the other a complaint of ffxiv.

Also mmo are NOT for anti-social people. No matter how ppl play, there will be a time you will need to talk to another player. Or get help from another player. That is the nature of mmo. MMo are never 100% solo. ffxiv raids and endgame will require groups of players. Just like every other mmo.

If you enjoy playing in large worlds elder scrolls are the game for you. And their worlds change as you progress both in levels and from story. The higher the level you get the more deadly the enemies you will need to fight. I personally can't wait for skyrim

Well forgive me for not lurking on the forums and remembering every person and what they say in other topics. I'm just looking at whatever was said in this topic. I glanced over the ENTIRE thread and not once had OP stated that they had no intent on conversing with other or that they are antisocial or anything of the sort. I'm taking what I can see here in THIS THREAD and that's all I got.

But even if I needed my Buc's Sash repaired, do you know how long that takes to find a weaver to do it? And even if there is a Weaver that high enough and wasn't AFK how many weavers carry Karakul yarn on them? It took me nearly a week of asking around to get that thing repaired. It's not always easy even when you are offering 10K rewards
