It would b

ed an action.

Do you see how irritating it can be just reading the above? That's what chatting in /l is like in FFXIV while crafting. Except, unlike the above, you have to arrow-up to retrieve your last typed bit of text, while also keeping track of what the heck your last synth action did. Please repair this annoyingly bad bit of programming.
