Reward Crafters Please!

It is good that the highest ilevel gear should be obtained though end content. But the cap between highest crafted gear (ilevel 70) and the highest raid gear (ilevel 90) is too high. There should be at least also crafted ilevel 80 gear (also good for people who complain about ct gear drop system).

Seriously, I'm visualizing a dev meeting, pre 2.0, where the devs are discussing the crafting system and how they should go about it's implementation. Now place yourself in the room and consider what your response would be when Yoshi looks at everyone and says, "I envision a crafting system where wealthy players can max out all professions in a week without ever crafting a single item". I know what my response would be, what would yours be?

Yes
I wounder why they changed the way the crafting leves worked.
In 1.0 the crafter got all the mats he needed from the leve (didn't need to buy it from AH) but needed to craft the item himself.

Seeing that now the name of the crafter show up on the item, there should be a name check which compare the name on the item with the name of the character to be sure that the character crafted it himself. That would be much better than the current system, where a crafter can just buy his exp with gil without crafting a single item.

:/
Every time I look at the item level and prices for the Darksteel equipment it really makes me irritated.

Still trying to find a viable nitch that already exists in the game. Anyone have any luck?

How about they remove dungeon drops and just have the dungeons drop materials. I remember in ff11 lets say to make a scorpion harness you had to get it from the nm. Not only will it make people do dungeons more but people would learn how to play their class.

Haven't I heard somewhere that the Glamour system is going to heavily involve crafting?

id say reward battle classes more with gil , i have levelled all of them to 50 , yet the most gil i had at a time was like 250k , how am i suppossed to buy all the expensive stuff you crafters make when the gil income for battle classes is too low ?

I think the better question is why would you even buy gear if you're running dungeons nonstop. Unless you're extremely unlucky in dungeons in which case you could just run quests while waiting on DF and have more free gear dropped in your lap because apparently everyone in this world keeps around a piece of DPS gear a piece of tank gear and a piece of healer gear just in case someone comes by to help them paint their fence.

id certainly buy some nice pieces of l70 crafted gear but never had enough gil to afford one
