    Non-crafters only: Are you happy with the vanity system?

    I say non-crafters because of course they love it. They're making money hand over fist for a system that is normally introduced to be a fun quality of life addition for everyone. But, thanks to the fact that A) SE decided to implement what is likely the worst vanity system in history and B) crafters are WAY over charging for the prisms, this new addition completely excludes players that aren't rolling in gil.

    Personally.. I've glamoured 5 or 6 things out of the 30 or more I had originally planned to. I simply can't afford to actually use the system fully. Heck, I'd have to do two full CT runs to be able to afford ONE prism in a lot of cases.

    So, personally, I hate this new system. It's way to convoluted and way too expensive.

    If you want to be pretty, you have to pay for it. Beauty has a price, after all.

    That's expensive and time consuming in it's own right. I know because I just finished leveling a CUL recently. Plus, thanks to how convoluted this system is, you'd have to level all of the crafting jobs in order to do all of your own glamours.

    Please, I leveled all craft to 50 before they even tweaked the EXP for leves. It's not hard to do nor take a lot of time to do so. And I made a ton of money leveling them. You can always make friend with a crafter. OMG I have to make friends in an MMO to get stuffs I can't get on my own? What has the world come to? /sarcasm

    Wait... so you're saying that it's expensive and time consuming to level a craft, but the moment a crafter wants to earn some of that money back, they're greedy moneygrabbers?

    I don't know you, but I'm at the cusp of getting ALL my crafts to 50 at once and I've MADE money doing so. I will agree with the time consuming part because I'm more meticulous and OCD than most players.

    This.

    Leveling a crafter is not hard at all. It just takes a bit of time and understanding how to HQ (or just buy all your leve turn-ins...)

    You're just being lazy and want a hand-out.

    And you're an extremely greedy person. SE were insane to give complete control of a QoL system to people like you.

    Greedy? Personally, I don't even know how much Prisms are going for on my server; I make them for my friends either for free or for the price of clear prisms (200 gil)

    You are lazy for not leveling a crafter and wanting a hand-out. It costs me maybe 500 gil to make a prism, 200 if I gather all the mats (which I do, since all the mats are for things I craft often, so I have them on hand).
    If people are paying thousands of gil for a prism, its because they feel its a fair price. If they weren't selling at those prices, the price would go down.
