I should iterate that I don't mind the gathering 'Jobs' so much. So I'll Swing away at trees or rocks if there is Gil to be made from it. Its just the crafting. The interdependency on other players at the capacity the crafting system is, is just a poor mistake. A poor poor poor mistake. The mini game is 'neat', but seriously inconvenient. I want to play a game and have fun when I get off of work, not beat my head against a desk because I logged into a game only to find myself laboring away on a chore of a task.

Sorry. I don't mean to rant. I just hate the crafting system that much. At any rate, thanks for all of your replies. Means a bunch. Thanks =)
