    you may not like the current minigame system but as soon as you reach 1 lever over the target synthesis you begin to see its potential. I bet most of the whiners dont even know the intricacies of the HQ system in the game and how relevant your skillset/gear/point allotment is in the process of HQ making.

    The point made by mack is a valid one. if you cant stand the crafting system, dont use it. crafting is NOT for everyone
    Is there any reason why we can't have the exact same positives you mentioned in your post, while at the same time having the road to R50 be fun as well?

    Its a baseline problem within the system. While the system itself is extremely complex in HQ situations, due to mechanics in the synthesis minigame its much easier to do the standard spam for max sp.

    the problem is the lack of reward for alternate actions and the extreme punishments associates to these actions in synthesis 5 or more synths above your rank (which are the prime sp region).

    there is no choice in leveling synths, however, when youn reach the synth level, those options start opening up and it makes the synthesis more complex.

    Imo its a tradeoff well spent because 50 is where the real game of crafting begins.
