Why is Crafting still in the game?

[Ptolemy]

the main idea from crafting/gathering classes is make gil

they are not supposed to give you advantage on endgame contents

really? so crafting will be forever useless and a waste of development time, they all should be removed.



Jokes aside, only way i'd see crafting being revived is gear becoming equal to tome gear, current gen should be like 3-5 star (5 star/ "purple color") and the higher star crafts should require you to gather rare mats from bosses that are in current gen dungeons
