Is it true one there DEV said crafting sucks?

[mindful]

I heard and going around on the internet about it. One there best selling points on this game and it will change crafting on mmo for years to come. Is this true?

There never be any gear equal or all crafting gear will be lame gear.

When elder scrolls fixed there crafting now and EQN fixed there to match this game version and they improved on it. Soon it will be like if a mmo got a good crafting system it will be a ff14 crafting system or bust.

It be like what CoD did to halo matchmaking system back in the day. Insane stuff and ideas not just quick make it.

5 years from now all mmos will have crafting like fxiv now.

If this rumor true and a DEV said that i would fire him now.

Yoshi did say that crafted great will not be better than raid gear. His reasoning is because he does not want people to stick to created gear in lieu of dungeon running.

However, I believe this point was misconstrued by many. No one gear set is BiS. To get BiS, you need a mix of Allagan, Myth, and XM gear. I think eventually a few crafting pieces will end up as BiS.

if they stick to that BS vertical progression ideal, gear from crafting will always be 3rd rate

But crafted gear is always lower quality than raid gear. Its supposed to be entry level so you CAN get raid gear, every mmo does this.

Because of the vertical progression ideal that's popular thanks to the carrot effect it brings, XI used to do this also but it was to a way lesser amount to the point where you didn't have to replace anything if you didn't want to(changed when they decided to follow the "modern" route) , XIV (1.0-23) also followed XI but that changed thanks to ARR (-_-), GW2 did the same as XI/XIV but to a larger amount (everything was cosmetic when you were geared) but that changed thanks to idiots who wanted more carrots, so they went towards more vertical progression (Ascended BS)



I don't find replacing gear almost every month when a patch hits fun, but that's just me, only reason i'm still here is pure loyalty to my character from 1.0

@ the OP to me it seems like SE hates Crafting as they are not trying to do anything to help. Did you read what Hvinire said? So they think that when more players get housing the "Furniture" market will pick up. Are you kidding me I have bought or made every housing Furniture except for some of the Extreme HQ stuff and didn't spend more than 150k. Its a joke if players plan on getting a FC house or own personal house buy the Materials or the Completed pieces now. I don't think there will be a market for Furniture until Personal Housing.

Once free company housing becomes a bit more widespread we expect the demand for furniture to increase

As for this, I made a post about Abjurations It takes Crafting, Gathering, and Endgame content and brings them together to make gear that would be some BIS. I say in the post they could alternate ABJ's with CoB/CT patches so they wouldn't always have to be BIS.

100% on abjurations gear. It should be horizontal though IMO or offer different stats and will include all types of players.

Not misconstrued at all, go to the forum top and you will see the Dev post saying this, from the beginning they never intended for crafting to impact the game to a great degree. The post is about a week old.
