Why is Crafting still in the game?

[RegnumMagik]

My point still stand. It takes 2 week to get AF2 SCH BiS, 1 week for each accessory. They are all BiS. Myth are basically throw at you between CT/Treasures/DR/Dailies.


So yes, getting BiS gears in this game is a nobrainer, they are literally handled to you. Meanwhile, crafted items, require you to 1) Level a craft (or find and pay one), 2) Pay money for/farm items 3) Meld your equip/Buy materia 4) Run dungeons several times for tomes item. Then, when you finally have your crafted item, they are not better than most iLevel 90 (or even CT stuff, jeez) stuff from myth tomes that, I repeat, are freely given to you with little to no effort.

Does this seem fair, to you?

One is limited by lockout, the other is unlimited but requires more effort.

For people who don't have much time to spent to begin with, they will probably be able to wait it out without doubt.

But for people who have time in their hands, and they have the time to invest....it's not too much to grind for a couple crafted pieces.

When it comes to new contents, I don't sit around and wait for my BIS so I can have an easier time getting a win. And as a person who plays multiple classes to fill roles, I simply can't acquire BIS through just weekly tomes and coil loots.

Neither you or I can justify what's fair just base on a small fraction of people's opinion.
