This is so true. The crafting system in FFXIV is very unique and has a lot going for it. It could be built up to be a major focus of the game. Instead its increasingly becoming irrelevant. Earlier in this thread there is a post from Yoshi that said Furniture would reinvigorate crafting!!! I thought that was funny because people will only buy furniture if they can buy houses -- and as we all know, that is not happening. Even if it was, I don't want DoH to be furniture focused. I want to make cool gear!!
