Though regardless id still say it isnt the most entertaining thing in the world, but then again its not that bad. Honestly the most entertaining thing is when your high level, and your like oh, i can make that, and you make the items you want.
You're kinda missing the point of what I was trying to say.

The emphasis is NOT on SP/hour, nor should it be. You can design a game that has you pressing the same button over and over again at repeated intervals for EXP (which is basically what the crafting game is now), but that doesn't make it a good game.


The emphasis is on first creating a fun and engaging crafting system FIRST, then balancing and normalizing it so that one can expect a reasonable amount of skill progression for time spent - which in the context of Final Fantasy 14, would be somewhere around 10-15k SP per hour.

Then, implementing variations on that skill progression and alternate paths in order to ensure that the process does not get stale and tedious.
