Why is Crafting still in the game?

[Seif]

I'll say it once, I'll say it a million times.

Making crafting actually worth doing is more important than stopping RMTs. I'll take all the stupid gil-seller spam you care to add to the game any day if it's a side effect of making crafting actually enjoyable.

This. Having a fun game to play should always take priority over having a game with less spam. Always.
