Thread: SQUARE-ENIX, remember not to marginalise crafters

They are supposed to be classes too.

The recent NMs that drop ready-to-wear gear which rivals crafted gear was one insult to the crafting profession. Let's not repeat mistakes.

With the Public Companies page shedding light on the possibility of rewarding players with items and gear, make sure you don't screw over crafters a second time.

sorry but they have to get screwed. You cant make everything crafted only, Maybe they can make it both, or give crafters some way of upgrading the drops. In the long run the materia system may come into play. But battle people are going to want to get something they can put thier hands on for fighting very difficult things, and ranking up/completing various missions.

i for one will stop doing repairs on other peoples gear and make them either go find someone else willing to do it, charge 100X the cost of the material, make you go to the rapiar npc for their high prices for 75%, or level your craft to do it yourself.

good thing you arent the only crafter!

All they have to do is make crafters not full classes anymore. They can do this when they take away our physical levels. Will several people quit? yes. But being that only 20k-30k people currently play who cares if 10k of them quit if it makes a system that makes more sense for the incoming PS3 players who are the games true bread and butter not the very few PC players still playing.


By the way this is coming from someone with rougly 250 crafting ranks so yes it would effect me, I can just see the change would be for the greater good.

I dont see what it would have to do with crafters being full classes, the same thing would apply, and i dont see any real advantage to crafting not being a class.

If crafters werent full classes then SE wouldnt really have to cater to them because crafting would be something people just did on the side..
