whats the point of crafting...

Best gear only coming from Dungeons is wrong, so implement materials you can only get in dungeons to make it fair?

How does that make any sense?

Rare craft materials that were Bind on Pickup from world mobs would perhaps work.

There is Far too much focus on dungeons and hardly anything meaningful (gear progression) to do outside as things are currently.

Many of those who do not wish to constantly do dungeons are bored silly.

Not saying it's fair. Going by what Yoshi said. Basically, it'd give playuers and crafters a choice to make gear comparable to Coil Gear that can be melded/dyed without being a generic allagan/af2 clone. At the same time, crafters would have a place at end game once again. Right now you have 2 choices in my opinion for end game, and crafters have none.

I hope that crafters can one day be able to craft their own relic-style weapon. In other MMOs, for example Aion, you can craft the equivalent of a relic weapon using drops from raids and the crafted weapon is automatically bound to you. FFXIV could easily do something like that so that people don't just buy the weapons.

However stuff like this will naturally come in expansions/future patches, so I'm not worried about them never doing it. I'm sure all of the complaints about endgame crafting will continue to linger if they don't do anything about it.
